Cenotes Dzitnup

5 Emilien Mathia - 8 months ago

This area has 2 cenotes to offer. You can pay for one, two and a little extra in each to get a life jacket vest. Both are accessed via steep stairs and are cave like cenotes. The right one were those photos were taken has a lovely blue hue, direct sunlight strengthen the water to roc contrat.
The swim is pleasant, you can jump in the water and return from small ladder. Only 3/4 of the water area is accessible due to sharp and dangerous parts on the last quarter. That’s way enough to relax and enjoy.
Big plus, this place is less crowded then Oxman nearby.

Ok here is the deal, when you go to experience the real taste of any country you should expect to find everything so make sure you bring water towels swimsuit etc. Any Cenotes it is a great experience and some are way better than others but overall is just the fact how they are created water under a cave just astonish. We were driving and found this Cenotes they are two. The water is cool but once you are inside you are good to experience the amazing cenotes.

Cenotes are wonderful (see pictures!), but some of the people around the shops are very pushy with selling you coconuts. There's ropes in the water debarking where you're allowed to swim and there's security paying attention.

There a 2 cenotes here, you can pay for either or both and get a large discount. Samulà is large and clean, ideal for swimming for a long while, where as Xkekèn (or Dzitnup) is far smaller and not as clean as hundreds (or thousands) of bats hang from its low ceilings. Life vests are obligatory to enter the water, you will have to rent one separately for each cenote (20 pesos per person per cave). The caves are stunning and the water is warm, a must go if you're in the valladolid area.

We came here as part of our Chichen Itza tour with Absolute Adventures. The shady area with lots of trees and the beautiful cool water cenotes were just what we needed after a hot morning visiting the ruins.

When we arrived, my mum became quite entranced by one of the two macaw parrots there, and was offered to take photos with them for a small fee. The birds looked well cared for so we decided to take them up on the offer and the guy at the desk emailed them all to me as well as printing a few.

We first went to cenote Xkeken which was my personal favourite of the two. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom straight away, and a beautiful shade of blue. The sun streaming in from above hit the water in just the right way to give it a lovely natural atmosphere. There were a few people in there, but it didn't feel crowded. Look out for tiny fish swimming around you, and bats flying above.

Next we went for a short walk with our guide to cenote Samula. This one was slightly darker, but just as clear and blue. Both cenotes seemed cold when we got in, but this was likely because our skin was hot from the morning at the ruins. We enjoyed both cenotes and stayed for a little while until we decided it was time to leave for lunch.

In all, this was a wonderful stop to our day and had been recommended by our guide as an alternative to the busy Il Kil. I've not been there so I can't comment on that, but we loved how quiet this place was and that we could relax and cool down a bit before going on with the rest of our day.

One of best cenotes we visited at Yucatan. You can visit directly two cenotes for 120 pesos or one for 80. I would recommend both, those are cave closed cenotes with super clear water inside. Not much fish but amazing atmosphere and also not too many people

It's not so good cenote as like Xkeken. It's needed to rent a life west for 25 pesos (mandatory).
