The cenote measures a diameter of approximately 40 meters, it is open, but it is not at ground level but rather at a depth of 35 meters, so it is completely surrounded by stone walls and plants. To descend to its fresh green waters you will have to go down some wooden stairs, be very careful and hold on to the railings since when they are wet they become a little slippery.

At the end, a platform welcomes you with two stairs arranged so that you can access its crystalline green waters, the depth is not known since even the divers who have explored its interior did not manage to reach the bottom, so It is important that you have your life jacket on at all times.
