What people say
Ricardo Patron Mier y Teran
"Xcanahaltun is my personal favorite. It is a massive 90 m wide cenote with a dome full of stalagmites and stalactites. At the top is a hole where sunlight passes through, reflecting in the colorful water.
To enter the cenote, you will have to walk about 50 meters. You descend through a hole in the ground with spiral-shaped stairs; after that, you go further down other stairs with breathtaking views of the place. Ultimately, you reach a platform through which you enter the water.
The location is not among the most visited cenotes, so it won't be crowded when you call. It is about 40 minutes from Valladolid. The entrance fee is 175 pesos. You can also rent a kayak for an additional cost. There is a small restaurant, restrooms, and showers in the place. "

"Xcanahaltun is a cave cenote with stunningly clear, turquoise waters, illuminated by sunlight filtering through the opening above. The cenote features a wooden platform for easy access to the water, and it’s perfect for swimming and enjoying the natural beauty.
Consider renting a scooter to get here!"
