Chenxunan Cenote

Chenxunan Cenote, 90 minutes from Valladolid, is not a tourist destination. It is an almost sacred place in the heart of the Yucatecan jungle, where only one group is admitted per day, a decision we make to preserve the place and to make your experience truly intimate: a real connection with your partner or family, and with nature.

You will arrive at an exquisite setting. The jungle surrounds you, the silence is real, and the water receives shafts of light that reach the bottom of the cenote and its caverns. That day, there will be no one else. Just you, your group, and all the time in the world.

And yet, nothing is missing. A spacious palapa, wooden decks among the trees, hammocks, loungers, and a bathroom with a hot-water shower. At lunchtime, a delicious meal is served with every detail considered. Comfort is there, but it never takes over. The connection with your loved ones and nature always wins.

Want to make the day even more complete? Combine the visit with Ek Balam, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the Maya world and one of the least crowded. The visit is guided by a specialist with deep knowledge not only of the site but of the entire Maya civilization, available in Spanish, English or French. Departure at 8:00 AM, Ek Balam in the morning, the cenote in the afternoon. Return to the hotel around 6:00 PM.
