About this experience
The cenotes are one of the attractions that distinguishes the state of Yucatan. Cenotes are unique formations in this region, and in addition to being a primary resource for obtaining fresh water in the jungle, they were sacred places for the Mayans, representing the entrance to the spiritual underworld.
The spectacular underground landscape makes each cenote a place worthy of admiration; the sunlight filtered through holes between the rocks and projected onto the green, crystalline or turquoise waters combine to offer a visual delight to visitors.
To all those people who enjoy the aquatic world, they will live a unique experience by immersing themselves in the depths of these underwater galleries, in addition you can also enjoy a dip and swim.
To end the tour day, you will be able to visit the beautiful city of Valladolid, where you will have free time to explore its streets, its history, and take photos.

This cenote takes its name from a legend. According to the inhabitants of the place, some had a little pig and every time it got lost inside the mountain it returned full of mud even in times of drought. When they decided to follow him, he led them to a cave, upon entering it they realized that it was not a cave but a cenote and because of this it is known as the X'keken cenote (pig in Mayan).
Includes entrance to the cenote and vest
