Truly amazing place and experience! Perfect for late afternoon or evening.

Published on Nov, 2024

This was a very memorable and meaningful tour. The whole experience is so authentic to the Mayan culture from the information in the tour to the structures that comprise the site to the food served afterwards, and mostly the closing Mayan ceremony. It's such a beautiful cave cenote with amazing lighting and viewpoints. I loved learning about the 9 levels of Mayan mythology as we descended into the cave. The dinner is well worth it and contained foods that I have not found since, including Mayan guacamole and a desert similar to marzipan. It is also a very beautiful drive on nearly perfect roads through deep Yucatan greenery, and very easy to find on google maps.

Jaw dropping & other worldly!

This is easily one of the most beautiful cenotes I have ever seen! The Tour, the experience, everything is absolutely astonishing! It also allows you to have that cenote privately to yourself, or with your party! The history and mythology they teach, was unforgettable! The cuisine, and service was splendid! You absolutely MUST book this experience, you won’t regret it! I spent to weeks in Yucatan, and this was one of my top favorite activities!

Amazing cenote experience - would recommend!

Edna was our English tour guide and she was very knowledgable and friendly. We never felt rushed went going through the cenote and it was very interesting to learn about the history of cenotes and their purpose during the Mayan era. We also had a dinner afterwards where they set up a fire pit for us to eat outside, it was very romantic. Go here for a unique cenote experience!

A wonderful, authentic, and private experience!

There was a mixup with our booking - lucky for us, because we ended up getting a private tour. Edna was our guide and she made our tour truly perfect. She was very knowledgeable and took her time to explain the history of the cenote along with Mayan legends and interesting information about the culture. The cave is one of a kind as you will find massive stalactites here, some of which are older than 500,000 years. The cenote itself is shallow and the water is quite chilly, but still very special and enjoyable. After the tour, we had dinner which was wonderful. All in all, we felt very well looked after, everybody was friendly and very attentive and worked hard to make this an unforgettable experience!

Special Place

Published on Mar, 2024

A lot of attention to detail was put into this place and it’s easy to see this upon arrival. We have seen many many underground caves in Yucutan and QRoo and this one is definitely one of the nicest. The tour with Myan mythology and the tribal music all made for a lovely atmosphere. We were disappointed to miss the shaman part of the tour, because we saw him and know he was around, but we realize some logistical difficulties were being encountered on this particular evening. The dinner was lovely, great service, great food, great atmosphere. We loved it all!
