Nr1. Cenote Chukum

1) Cenote Chukum is definitely the most magical one. There are 2 holes on top of the cave which makes for beautiful lightrays coming through pointing directly in the water, a very surreal thing to see. The cenote gives the vibe of the Moonpool from the television series H2O. The is a kind of zipline in the middle and some platforms to make your stay even more fun. On top of that this cenote is an amazing spot for free divers.

Nr3. Cenote Ik Kil

3) One of the most popular cenotes in this aria is Ik Kil. The cenote is close to Chitzen Itzá (one of the 7 world wonders). A lot of tours go first to Chitzen Itza and then to Ik Kil. If you do it the other way around you have the whole cenote for yourself. 3b) If this one is a bit touristy for you then safe your time for a cenote in the next town where I'll take you.
