Description

Did you know that cenotes are characteristic geological formations of the Yucatan? Dare to take a dip and explore the crystal clear waters of these natural pools on this tour to the cenotes of Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara Cenotes Day Trip

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Merida. From there, we'll go deep into the Yucatan jungle to reach the three beautiful cenotes of Santa Barbara - it'll feel like paradise on Earth.

At Santa Barbara, we'll board a small tourist train that'll take us to the first cenote we'll visit: Cascabel. Who's ready for a dip?

The cenotes are vaults with water from aquifers whose roofs have collapsed, turning them into impressive natural pools. We'll admire the amazing stalactites and stalagmites of its rocky walls while we enjoy a good swim in its waters.

Our next visit will be to the Chaksikin, Xoch', and Pool Cocom cenotes, where you'll also have the chance to go for a swim and marvel at its turquoise-colored crystalline waters.

Our last stop will be at a local restaurant to gather your strength with a lunch consisting of traditional dishes such as grilled meat, rice, beans, and tortillas.

The tour will end back at your hotel after a total of around 7 hours.
