This unforgettable journey begins bright and early in Valladolid’s charming historic center. Meet us at 7:00 AM for check-in, then sit back and relax as we depart around 7:30 AM in our luxury panoramic vans, heading deep into the Yucatán to discover its breathtaking cenotes—natural wonders carved by time and sacred to the ancient Maya.

Our first stop is the secluded Nool Ha cenote—one of Valladolid’s best-kept secrets. Tucked away from the crowds, this hidden gem captivates with its untouched beauty and tranquil atmosphere.
Take a dip in its cool, crystal-clear waters and feel instantly refreshed, as if nature itself is recharging your soul. For thrill-seekers, add a rush of adrenaline with a zipline ride soaring across the cenote—an unforgettable way to take in the view from above before plunging back into serenity.

Stop 3
Our next destination is Suytun—one of the most iconic and photograph-worthy cenotes in the entire Yucatán. Set within a peaceful working cattle ranch and surrounded by serene lagoons, this natural wonder is nothing short of spectacular.
As you descend into the cavern, prepare for a moment that will take your breath away: a single beam of sunlight streams through the cenote’s ceiling, striking a perfectly placed stone platform at the center of the pool. It’s a setting that feels suspended in time—mystical, silent, and absolutely unforgettable.

Our final stop is the awe-inspiring Chukum Cenote—a hidden Mayan treasure that feels like stepping into another world. Tucked beneath the earth, this underground sanctuary stuns with its crystal-clear waters and dramatic limestone formations that tower above you.
Whether you choose to swim or simply soak in the view, the serenity and sacred energy of this place will stay with you long after you leave.
To conclude the experience, we’ll gather at the cenote’s on-site restaurant and enjoy a delicious traditional Mayan meal—rich with authentic flavors and the warmth of local hospitality.

We’ll return to our original departure point around midday—grateful, refreshed, and proud to have experienced three breathtaking wonders of the Mayan world in all their natural splendor. A journey through hidden beauty, sacred waters, and unforgettable moments.
