Relax and cool off at Cenote Yokdzonot, a beautiful natural wonder enhanced by its excellent facilities. Like other cenotes, this one is a deep swimming hole formed naturally by the collapse of a section of the limestone floor of the Yucatán jungle. Escape the sun by splashing in its refreshing waters. Snap photos against the impossibly scenic background of a turquoise pool fringed by lush green jungle, with snake-like dangling vines and sheer rock faces. The cenote has been open to the public for over a decade, though like the area’s other cenotes, it may be millions of years old. Come to this magical spot to see how the local community has transformed this rugged natural sinkhole into a well-maintained attraction that draws visitors from all over. The cenote is run by a co-op made up of residents from the tiny local village, also called Yokdzonot, and it is now a major force behind the economy of this little place. Walk the wooden boards that lead to the cenote and climb in, or jump from one of the platforms provided for the purpose. Like most cenotes, this one is very deep, so you won’t hit the bottom. Drink in the enchanting tropical atmosphere as fish circle your toes. Rent a snorkeling mask to get a better look at them. Ride the zip line overhead to get a bird’s-eye view of the cenote. Another way to get an unusual perspective is to go rappelling down the side, led by an expert guide. Or, rent one of the mountain bikes available on the premises and follow a guide to some of the other beauty spots nearby, including more cenotes. Find Cenote Yokdzonot around a 20-minute drive from the Mayan archeological site Chichén Itzá. Pay the small entrance fee and stop here to cool off after a day spent exploring these famous ancient pyramids and temples. After swimming, take a break at the cenote’s restaurant to fill up with a hearty lunch. ## Plan a trip to see Cenote Yokdzonot Price found within the past 48 hours.
