Somebody recommended here saying that here is smaller but more private and beautiful. It was a really good choice. There were not many people so we could enjoy as much as we want. The life jackets were provided. And the entrance of this place, restroom, garden, opened shower place, and everything was clean and tidy. We could pay the entrance fee with credit card, even though the staffs didn’t like it.
Beautiful Cenote and worth a visit after touring the ruins close by. It’s a bit of a walk from the parking lot and there are a lot of stairs down to the cenote. Recommend getting a locker since you will not have “eye’s on” your belongings in the water due to the way cavern is situated (we ended up taking turns in the water to watch our stuff.) It was a little bit busy while we were there on a Sunday afternoon, but not obnoxious. It was pouring rain outside so all our stuff was soaked getting back to the car. Bring an umbrella if it’s rainy season. Peaceful, beautiful well maintained grounds and paths compared to other Cenotes, but the road was a bit rough driving from the entrance gate to the parking lot. So take your time, especially in a sedan. Only 8 minutes by car from Chichén Itzá.
Honestly the most beautiful Cenote in the region with the best infrastructure for a visit. The complex sports a restaurant, a fully stocked bar, very clean bathrooms and a superb changing room. The Cenote itself is beautiful as it is located within a cave with enough holes for sunlight to pass. We visited the place on a Saturday at 10:00 am (early January) and we had the Cenote all for ourselves to swim and take pictures! I suppose many people come here right after visiting Chichén-Izá, so if you want to beat the crowds I recommend going early. Entrance at the time of visit was 230 pesos per adult, you can pay by credit card as well.
We visited over 12 Cenotes in the Valladolid & Chichén-Izá area and this was hands down our favorite, I definitely recommend it!
We visited Tsukan as a part of our day trip to Chichen Itza and it was absolutely magical! Great set up, good food at the buffet, everything is well organized and you can tell that it’s one of the newer ones. We got very lucky and were the first swimmers of the day. 10/10!
This Cenote is located a few kilometers from Pisté, Chichen Itza, it’s a big cave with estalagtites and crystal waters, really really nice.
The entrance fee is around 230 MX, you cab add a buffet, no drinks included for another 240 MX, 470 MX in total.
To access the cenote, it is mandatory to use a life vest (provided by them), with this, you can not dive properly
I do recommend bringing your own goggles to enjoy the beauty of the cenote. Towels are not provided, bring them.
What a lovely little gem! The cenote was so serene and beautiful, but the park as a whole was also amazing. We enjoyed all the other little activities they offered, and the restaurant with traditional Yucatec food was equally delightful! Highly recommend this over the other, more touristy cenotes, and a HUGE thank you to Victor, our tour guide at Chichén Itzá for the recommendation
Probably the most beautiful Cenote.
The area is so well designed and in the heart of the jungle
Wonderful place. Prepare for large crowds as it is a popular destination. Our tour group gave us an hour and we had just enough time to change clothes, grab the life vest, and jump in the cenote. Water is cold. Other than that, a wonderful place. If traveling on your own, you will be able to enjoy it more.
