Swim at a Cenote

Your guided tour to Chichen Itza from Cancun starts with pick up from your hotel. The first stop is a visit to a spectacular cenote, either the Ik Kil cenote or the Hubiku cenote. A cenote is a natural swim hole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. Be sure to bring along your towel and swimsuit so you can enjoy a swim in one of these unique natural wonders!
