Cenote Xlacah is best known as the cenote that is within close proximity to a Mayan archaeological ruin – the Zona Arqueológica de Dzibilchaltún. Both of these destinations offer incredible beauty that is sought after by those who visit the Yucatan Peninsula.
The archaeological site consists of various pyramids, palaces, and historic church ruins. A few meters away from these ruins is a large cenote that is great for swimming.
One thing that you will notice right away is the group of water lilies that are in the middle of the water. These water lilies add to the beauty of the cenote.
However, the highlight of Cenote Xlacah would have to be the crystal blue water. The water temperature is cool so it is the perfect spot to cool off if you spent some time exploring the ruins in the archaeological site.
You can enter into the cenote by going down the rocks that form as ledge on the mouth of the cenote. Some parts of the cenote are shallow but the deepest part can reach 15 feet.
For the convenience of those who visit Cenote Xlacah, there are bathrooms available on-site. You can also find a few restaurants so it makes sense to spend a whole day here. You can visit the archaeological sites, swim, or sunbathe.
