]]> Cenotes are one of the most stunning natural wonders that you can find in Mexico. They’re scattered all across Yucatán, and the visit to this peninsula is incomplete if you don’t take a moment to check them out. Here are three beautiful cenotes that will leave you in awe if you put them on your bucket list.

Dos Ojos Cenote

Dos Ojos is one of Mexico’s most popular cenotes and it’s home to many historic caves and crystal clear natural swimming holes. The clear visibility of its waters makes it a top snorkeling and cavern diving destination, but you’ll equally enjoy it if you’re simply there to look around.

Sacred Cenote

Located in close proximity to the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, this cenote comes with a pretty interesting backstory. Legend has it that the Mayans once used it as a place of sacrifice because archaeologists found many historical artifacts, such as gold, jade, and pottery underneath its surface.

Ik Kil Cenote

Another beautiful cenote near Chichen Itza, this is one of those natural wonders that have to be seen to be believed. Ik Kil Cenote will win you over from the get-go thanks to its verdant rock walls and threadlike vines. It’s another great spot for swimming and snorkeling because its waters are crystal clear.

]]> Many places in Mexico still stand as a constant reminder of the influence that the Mayan culture left on this country, and that happens to be the case with Mérida. Yucatán’s capital has a significant Mayan indigenous population, and it’s home to several places where you can explore Mayan culture and heritage.

Dzibilchaltún

One of the most significant Mayan archaeological sites in all of Yucatán is located just 10 miles north of Mérida. This archaeological site is home to many Mayan ruins, most notably the Temple of the Seven Dolls, and you can find a beautiful Cenote Xlacah on its premises.

Parque Zoológico Animaya

Are you looking for a kid-friendly spot that will make you feel like you’re diving into the ancient past? Parque Zoológico Animaya is just the thing you need! Once you step inside, it will mostly feel like a classic zoo, but its most magical feature is a gigantic observation tower, reminiscent of a Mayan stele.

Mayan World Museum of Mérida

You can find several great museums in Mérida and this one should be on the top of your list. It features an extensive collection of Mayan art, handicrafts, and history, and it’s truly a sight to behold—both inside and out.

]]> Natural sinkholes formed by the collapse of limestone bedrock are better known as cenotes, and they can be found all around Yucatán. This is the best place in Mexico to explore this natural phenomenon, and the picture-perfect Cenote Suytun is a good place to start. Let’s learn a little bit more about it!

What Is It?

Yucatán is home to many cenotes that are much bigger and get more visitors than Cenote Suytun, but that could change in the nearby feature. This cenote experienced a huge rise in popularity after it became a popular spot with travel influencers thanks to its picturesque nature.

Unique Features

What sets Suytun apart is the symmetrical stone pier leading to the center of this underground open water pool. This is one of its most striking qualities, especially if you’re lucky enough to be there at the exact moment when rays of sunshine pierce through the ceiling beam.

How to Get There

Cenote Suytun is a great day-trip destination from both Cancún and Mérida. Its location is a two-hour drive from both cities, while Valladolid is the only major town in its close proximity. The cenote is open to visitors between 9 am and 5 pm, and you can also swim and buy snacks and drinks during your visit.
