The soil of the Yucatán Peninsula is unique in composition. It acts as a sponge when it rains. As the soil begins to dissolve, caverns are created. They can be partially or completely flooded and when they do collapse from erosion, a cenote is formed.

Tours are available to explore all four types of cenotes unique to the Yucatán, where you can revel in the beauty of these natural wonders and learn why the ancient Mayans considered them sacred shrines.

Open Cenote: Known for their cylindrical shape, these cenotes showcase beautiful natural vegetation and rock formations.

Ancient Cenote: Resembling lagoons, these cenotes are fully exposed bodies of water. Relaxing in the refreshing water and enjoying zip-line tours amid the surrounding lush jungle are activities not to be missed.

Semi-Open Cenote: This cenote’s water is partially hidden away in caves below the surface. Rappelling is a popular activity that allows you to view the unique and distinctive rock formations below.

Cavern Cenote: Once the location of Mayan ceremonies, these cenotes are located within caves and caverns deep below the earth’s surface. Snorkeling tours are one of the favorite ways to enjoy these natural wonders.

Vistana Community Member "Fabulous Cenotes" — 01/08/2019 "Fabulous Cenotes" 01/08/2019 We had such a blast during our day at 4 different cenotes. The natural landscape and water were beautiful. The water was very cold but worth it. They provide drinks, lunch and sunblock so don't over pack for the day but DO bring some kind of water shoes. I will do this many more times!

Vistana Community Member "Cenote and Chichen Itza Tour" — 03/15/2018 "Cenote and Chichen Itza Tour" 03/15/2018 This tour was great. We arranged through the concierge at the resort. We arrived at Chichen Itza before the crowds. So interesting. Then it was on to the Cenote. We rappelled down into the Cenote! Very exciting!! There are steps if you opt not to rappell. We were able to swim once inside. After that adventure we had a nice lunch before heading back to the resort.

Vistana Community Member "Cenotes Tour in Cancun" — 03/14/2018 "Cenotes Tour in Cancun" 03/14/2018 Reunited with a former Mexican high school exchange student and her family in Cancun. We went on a full day tour in the Cenotes during which we went snorkeling, rappelling, kayaking, zip lining and swimming. Picked up and dropped off from our resort. We had wonderful guides in a small group, with lunch and snacks. Park was extraordinary! Our group of 10 ranged from 13 to 70 years of age and all participated. A fun, exciting family outing!

Vistana Community Member "Reveal Your Inner World by Exploring a Cenotes" — 02/08/2018 "Reveal Your Inner World by Exploring a Cenotes" 02/08/2018 I highly recommend a Cenotes Tour, as you descend into the depths of Mexico, you will discover your own inner depths.
Vistana Community Member "Cenote Ik Kil" — 02/08/2018 "Cenote Ik Kil" 02/08/2018 Cenote Ik Kil is our absolute favorite activity when travelling to Chicken Itza. Bring your camera, the view is amazing. We like to leave very early to tour Chichen Itza, before it gets too hot, then eat a late lunch at the resort next to Cenote Ik Kil. This is the most beautiful of all of the cenotes we have seen.
