Cenote Xlacah

Lovely open air cenote, unfortunately it's been closed for a few years now. Lots of nice memories there.

Cenote Xlacah is open as of May 2021. However, people can not swim at the cenote and the museums are closed. Despite this closure, the Cenote is charging full price to tourists.

What I enjoyed most about this place was seeing the abundant wildlife like bluebirds and iguanas and the diversity of native trees.

The ruins seem interesting especially the contrast of a catholic church in the middle of the Mayan ruins. I recommend a guide to make sense of everything, as there are no signs of name, description, or history about the structures.

What an amazing place to visit! This is the first cenote I've ever seen and what a wonderous sight it was! It was stunning to see the glistening water with beautiful water lilies floating in the center. Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to swim during my visit, however it was a fun experience to observe other families and children splashing about enjoying themselves in the water.

This is part of the ruins, and a perfect respet from the very powerful sun that cooks you as you explore the ruins. There is a shallow and deep end (44m or 140ish feet) deep. If you don't want to swim, there are also lots of ledges to sit and dangle your feet in the water. As a bonus, there are tiny fish swimming all around you (completely harmless).

Located just off the highway from Merida to Progreso, this is a must do to take in some local history. Parking is about 20 pesos and admission for non locals was 227 pesos. Takes about an hour to see the structures, an air conditioned museum is also on the property

Bring your bathing suit and take a dip in a cenote to cool off, definately worth the experience.

Nice little cenote with clear water, little fishes and lily pads. It placed near archaeological complex, so you can refresh yourself after observing ancient buildings under the sun

Unique and mysterious (2018)

Update March 2021:
Cenote closed
Museums closed
Yet INAH is charging the exorbitant $240 pesos for entrance for foreigners at Dzibilchaltun.
You even have to pay to park at this site.
And then there only a handful of ruins.
Much better options in the area
