About Tour Xenotes

At Xenotes you'll spend a full day of adventure and nature visiting four different cenotes hidden in the Mayan jungle. Each cenote has its own personality and activities: rappel, zip lines, kayak, and snorkel keep the fun going all day. A certified guide accompanies you at all times and shares facts about how cenotes form, their importance to the ecosystem, and the legends of the spirits that, according to Mayan tradition, watch over these sacred sites. The experience includes energy breaks: cookies, chocolate, and sweet bread after each cenote, plus a delicious gourmet picnic. Round-trip transportation from your hotel is included so you only need to focus on having fun. It's an ideal activity for all kinds of travelers: families, groups of friends, and anyone looking to connect with nature in a unique Riviera Maya setting.
