Cenote Xlacah

Place was great and full of ancient structures to explore, it give a great sense of scale to how the native people lived. Visitors should definitely apply sun screen and bring an umbrella or light clothes because the sunshine is intense!

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

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.

Interesting Myan ruins and swimming area, just north of Merida. You are able to get up close to some of the ruins and swimming in the cenote, if you wish. There is also a museum, which is included in the entrance fee. Need to get there by rather car or taxi. No restaurant on site. You need to go to Progreso beach or back to Merida to eat.

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

Near to Merida. Very close. You must go there! This place is so so beautiful you'll feel you are touching the creation!

Swimming hole is so cool as well as the sweet ruins. Definitely recommend. Flight attendant @hannahonthefly on instagram to see pics!

So beautiful that it almost doesn't look real, the cenote water is extremely clear it's amazing. It's a little tricky to climb down to access, but the view from above is incredible. Be sure to bring your swimsuit when you visit.

Peaceful beach to relax on, less crowded than Progreso

Awesome!! Its a great place to swim, also there're ruins and a museum.

Beautiful place! Lots of people, but the water is very blue and at a good temperature. Still can't believe something natural can be so perfect!

Amazing experience. The museum does have restrooms for you to change clothes, and access to the cenote is included with the fee for the ruins.

Swimming in the cenote was one of the highlights of my trip. The Mayan ruins here, especially the observatory, are amazing and you can climb up to the top of some of them.

Beautiful & refreshing. It's very humbling when you know the history of this sacred Mayan cenote.

This was an excellent tour. You get up close and personal with the ruins. Touching something made 2500 years ago is exciting.

Cenote, museum, ruins. All them tourist things you came to see are hear.

Pictured is the pool that many believe has rejuvenating powers. Great visit.

Most magical part of our trip to Merida. Beautiful. Fun. And soul satisfying.

Water temp is nice, great clarity and cleanliness, colorful, there are small fish that clean your feet, beautiful flowers, crystal water, I loved it. Be careful with the deep side, it reaches about 25 mts deep. You can drown easily there, no guard on duty.
