6 Incredible Valladolid Cenotes You Simply Must Visit

(Last Updated On: November 22, 2022)

One of the biggest draws to the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico is without doubt cenotes and the cenotes near Valladolid are some of the best in the state.

Cenotes are natural freshwater sinkholes found only in this area of Central America. While cenotes are located all over Yucatan and Quintana Roo, some of the most beautiful are just outside of the gorgeous colonial town of Valladolid.

These Valladolid cenotes are so close to the town that many can be visited by bicycle, an easy 20-minute ride from the centre of Valladolid.

With so many to choose from you could stay here for days, visiting just the Valladolid cenotes, however, after visiting many myself I’ve chosen which I think are the most unique and stunning ones in the area, saving you the time and hassle.

Some of the best cenotes in Valladolid are located almost entirely underground, with only a single hole at the top to let light in, while others are completely open. Not only is swimming in these natural pools refreshing after a long day of exploring, but cenotes are also a stunning testament to nature.

Many of the open ones will have tree roots, branches and leaves, dangling over the sides of the sinkhole and falling into the abyss below, creating a sort of waterfall of foliage. Add the calming sound of dripping water and the stillness of these amazing formations if you manage to catch them without the crowds, you have an unforgettable experience unlikely to be relived anywhere else in the world.

Getting Around

Bicycle – Most of the cenotes mentioned in this post are easily reached from Valladolid by bicycle with the exception of Cenote IkKil and Suytun. Cenote IkKil is simply too far (next to Chichen Itza) and I guess it is possible to cycle the 16km round trip to Suytun if you are feeling adventurous.

Bicycles can be rented from many hostels and stores in the centre of Valladolid. I recommend Go Yucatan tours, located just behind the main cathedral, which have a variety of different kinds of bikes available to rent by the hour or day.

Scooter/Motorbike – If you prefer to save your legs, another option is scooter rental. Scooter Rent Valladolid on Calle 41 rent cute, Vespa-like scooters for the day and by the hour. It does involve some riding on the highway but around Valladolid, they aren’t too busy. I reached Cenote Suytun by scooter.

Unfortunately at the time of writing, there was no car hire in Valladolid. The nearest place to hire a car would be Tulum, Cancun or Merida.

A great way to visit Valladolid and its amazing cenotes is to come by rental car. If you’re looking for a great rental agency with competitive rates and great service make sure to check out Discover Cars.

Tips for Visiting Cenotes

↠ If you’re interested in taking good photos bring a tripod, especially to the cave cenotes. Due to the lack of light, you’ll have to slow down your shutter speed to take a great photo and to avoid blurry images definitely use a tripod. If you don’t have one I highly recommend the Manfrotto Element.

↠ Facilities vary, however, all cenotes have bathrooms and changing rooms, others have picnic facilities and even restaurants. It may sound obvious but don’t forget your towel, swimwear and spare clothes. You might also want to bring a dry bag from your valuables as sometimes there are no lockers and the surrounding area immediately next to the cenote are often wet. Get one here.

↠ As a general rule, the earlier you visit the fewer people there will be. For a more peaceful and potentially more authentic experience, I’d recommend getting to each cenote as early as you can or even better, for when they open.  

↠ As of 2021, it’s now mandatory per government regulation to wear a life jacket while swimming in cenotes. In some cenotes this is included in the ticket price and in others, they will charge you extra for a life jacket if you want to swim.

The Best Valladolid Cenotes

CENOTE OXMAN

This dreamy cenote was probably my favourite of all the Valladolid cenotes.

Located on an old ranch, which has now been converted into a relaxing picnic area and restaurant, Cenote Oxman is one of the largest open cenotes around.

What makes this one truly unique though is the number of vines and tree roots hanging down into the water. With the deep blue colour of the water, speckled with harmless black catfish and the sounds of the birds and bats above, it’s a jaw-droppingly beautiful place.

This cenote also has a platform and a rope swing (one of the only ones in the area) which you can swing off into the water for some extra fun. For a truly magical experience, arrive when it opens at 8 am. I had it all to myself and the eery silence, echoes and peace made it magical.

Price: 150 pesos (for cenotes only), 250 pesos (for pool and restaurant)

Hours: 8am-5pm

 CENOTE XKEKEN & SAMULA

Cenotes Xke’Ken and Samula are both located in the same complex, right next to each other.

You can buy tickets for one or the other but I would definitely recommend both. Cenote Xkeken and Cenote Samula are both cave cenotes in Valladolid and each one has a large hole at the top allowing for light to stream through.

Cenote Samula is much bigger with crystal clear water which turns a darker and deeper blue the deeper the water gets.

While X’keKen is smaller,  it’s very much about the cave itself rather than the water. Notice all the amazing stalactites and columns of limestone formed over millions of years. A swim in both is a must, even just to cool off and enjoy the fresh water.

Make sure to bring a tripod here for photography as they are both dark inside.

Price: $80 pesos for one cenote, 125 pesos for both

Hours: 9am-6pm

CENOTE SUYTUN

So, you’ve probably seen this cenote on Instagram a hundred times already and but it’s exactly what it’s cracked up to be and more- in fact, the photos on Instagram probably don’t do it justice.

Cenote Suytun is the one with the stone platform jutting out into the water and at a certain time of day, it gets illuminated by a shaft of light coming in from the opening above.

It’s an incredibly photogenic cenote but also one where you can feel the hundreds of years of history that it has.

Swim in the cool, placid blue waters, relax and take it all in.  If you want to catch the cenote when the light beam hits the platform make sure to come at around midday on a sunny, clear day.

This is the busiest time however and if you want to get some great shots on the platform without having to wait, it’s best to visit first thing in the morning, when it opens at 9 am.

* In 2020 a number of hurricanes and tropical storms tore through the Yucatan Peninsula, raising the groundwater level in the area. As a result of this, this platform is now underwater. It still makes for great photos though.

Price: $150 pesos

Hours: 9am-5pm

CENOTE ZACI

Located right in the middle of Valladolid and therefore walkable from almost any hotel, Cenote Zaci is perfect for a cool dip at the end of a day of exploring.

While it’s not the most picturesque or the cleanest, being right in the middle of the town, you’ll find lots of locals here as well as tourists making it a great spot to people watch.

It’s actually a really big, open cenotes with hanging vines and streams of water tumbling down like a scene out of The Jungle Book. 

Price: $30 pesos

Hours: 9am-5pm.

CENOTE IK-KIL

Cenote Ik-Kil is the furthest out of all the cenotes near Valladolid but it’s well worth the trip. This is one of the most popular cenotes in the area, not only due to the fact that it’s absolutely, jaw-droppingly beautiful but also due to its also the cenote near Chichen Itza.

Many Chichen Itza tours stop here on the way out so it gets very busy- try to get there as early as you can in the morning.

Compared to other cenotes this sinkhole is larger and deeper and the water is a clear, dark blue.

Streams of water cascade down the sides, vines and roots hang down barely touching the glassy surface of the water and atmospheric Mayan music plays in the background. There’s nothing else to do but go for a dip or simply float taking it all in. 

Price: $150 pesos (cenote only), $350 pesos (for restaurant token and entry)

Hours: 9am-5pm

The more I read about food, diet and health online, the more confused I get. ‘Experts’ pushing diets and programs that aren’t based on any kind of scientific evidence, fad diets, opinions and then there are all the ‘scientific’ articles to get through. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have ever launched yourself into this world, researching what might be best for your health (which I’m pretty sure you have) then you might have also been left feeling confused and demotivated. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel that every 10 minutes someone’s talking about the best new way to eat and stay healthy. Of course not all of it is fiction but going through it all and even absorbing it kinda feels like a full time job. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are a few things that have helped me however when it comes to this diet and wellness overwhelm and I wanted to share them with you today. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Firstly our diet and what we eat is very personal. No one will know more about what works for you than you so don’t take on diets and programs just because other people are trying them out. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Secondly, just like the fashion industry has trends, the world of wellness and food is also beginning to see these trends. In the last 15 years so many fad diets and trends have surfaced only to be deeply buried again a few years later. These trends are just businesses that earn individuals a lot of money so be weary of them. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust what’s worked for humans for thousands of years. Before the invention of processed foods what did people eat? Just ask your grandparents what and how they ate. It’s this type of eating that has worked for human beings for thousands of years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If in doubt always circle back to natural, organic, fresh food that comes directly from the earth. ✨🙏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever felt overwhelmed when it comes to learning more about health and diet? What’s worked for you? 🙏🤗

Welcome (back) to Puglia, Italy. 

So excited to be back in Puglia and making it my home base for the foreseeable future ✨ 

After visiting for the first time last year, I noticed there’s definitely something that keeps pulling me back here. I can’t wait to dive deep into some new projects here, both long and short term and take you all along with me. 

Being here in January can’t be more different compared to summer but I super impatient for more sun and to explore more.

Who has plans to visit the south of Italy in 2023?

The more I read about food, diet and health online, the more confused I get. ‘Experts’ pushing diets and programs that aren’t based on any kind of scientific evidence, fad diets, opinions and then there are all the ‘scientific’ articles to get through. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have ever launched yourself into this world, researching what might be best for your health (which I’m pretty sure you have) then you might have also been left feeling confused and demotivated. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel that every 10 minutes someone’s talking about the best new way to eat and stay healthy. Of course not all of it is fiction but going through it all and even absorbing it kinda feels like a full time job. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are a few things that have helped me however when it comes to this diet and wellness overwhelm and I wanted to share them with you today. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Firstly our diet and what we eat is very personal. No one will know more about what works for you than you so don’t take on diets and programs just because other people are trying them out. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Secondly, just like the fashion industry has trends, the world of wellness and food is also beginning to see these trends. In the last 15 years so many fad diets and trends have surfaced only to be deeply buried again a few years later. These trends are just businesses that earn individuals a lot of money so be weary of them. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust what’s worked for humans for thousands of years. Before the invention of processed foods what did people eat? Just ask your grandparents what and how they ate. It’s this type of eating that has worked for human beings for thousands of years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If in doubt always circle back to natural, organic, fresh food that comes directly from the earth. ✨🙏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever felt overwhelmed when it comes to learning more about health and diet? What’s worked for you? 🙏🤗

Crisp winter walks in Alberobello. 

This is one of Puglia’s most visited towns, famous for its unique trullo architecture, these small dwellings go back centuries. 

I couldn’t help myself coming back in winter and exploring it all again. 

Have you heard about Alberobello? ✨

Welcome (back) to Puglia, Italy. 

So excited to be back in Puglia and making it my home base for the foreseeable future ✨ 

After visiting for the first time last year, I noticed there’s definitely something that keeps pulling me back here. I can’t wait to dive deep into some new projects here, both long and short term and take you all along with me. 

Being here in January can’t be more different compared to summer but I super impatient for more sun and to explore more.

Who has plans to visit the south of Italy in 2023?
