Stop 2

“The Cenote Suytun is one of the most impressive in Yucatan. It is a closed circular cenote, famous for its stone platform that goes into the center, creating a unique setting to take pictures. The rays of light entering through an opening at the top illuminate the crystal clear water, offering an unparalleled natural spectacle. In addition to its scenic beauty, you can swim in its refreshing waters and admire the stalactite formations that surround it.

Located in the Hacienda San Lorenzo Oxman, this semi-open cenote combines history, nature and Yucatecan tradition. You can descend to its crystal clear waters and cool off surrounded by majestic rock walls and vegetation. The experience includes access to the cenote, mandatory life jacket, and enough time to enjoy it.

After swimming (1 hour and a half), you will have a delicious meal in the hacienda restaurant (1 hour), with regional dishes and options for all tastes.

Discover the colonial magic of this charming Magic Town. During the tour you will know its most emblematic sites: the majestic Cathedral of San Servacio, the historic Convent of San Bernardino de Siena, the Main Square and the famous letters of Valladolid.
