Xantuario Cenote

Xantuario is home to two cenotes with completely opposite characters, and both are yours for the entire day.

The first is Mystique, an almost completely enclosed cenote where light enters only through natural cracks in the rock. The water is blue and crystalline, but the dimness creates an enigmatic, almost supernatural atmosphere. Ancient ceramic pieces rest at the bottom and, with help from your guide, you can observe them from the surface. This is not just swimming in a cenote: it is looking into centuries of Maya history from the water.

The second cenote, Nai Kab, is semi-open: crystalline blue water, natural light, and the jungle framing the sky. The perfect counterpoint.

Between the two, the same promise as always: one group per day, total exclusivity, and every comfort so nature is the only thing on your mind. Spacious palapa, wooden decks, hammocks, loungers, bathroom with a hot-water shower, and a delicious lunch served with every detail considered.

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.

Private and exclusive cenote experience, available only to guests of Hotel Posada San Juan, Valladolid, Yucatan.
