Stop 1
After you meet your guide at your hotel lobby it's time to travel to pick more people and then to the ruins so consider around 3.5 hrs each way of travel time
Get ready to learn about the mayan culture specially here which is one of the new 7 wonders of the world that will transform what you know about the mayans
2
Unique, marvelous and incredible that's why a lot of people mention its the biggest cenote in the peninsula and the best is that you can do rappel down, jump from the stairs or just swimming around
As well you can enjoy of a walking rope or zipline inside the cenote
Just upstairs we have a nice restaurant where people can try a mayan buffet with all the local style

Colonial town where you see the heritage of the conquest, beautiful colors, San Gervasios church and a nice plaza to walk around
I recommend you to buy nice souvenirs, ice cream or marquesita at the plaza
