Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

A cenote, which is a natural sinkhole that exposes groundwater beneath the bedrock, is like a deep round pool, usually sunk below ground level like a cave. Ik Kil, near the famous Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, is a stunningly beautiful example of this natural phenomenon.

The water is located about 85 feet below ground level, and is accessible by a set of stairs. Vines hang down from the surface, dangling in the air above the water like streamers at a party, and help to provide a stunning setting for a relaxing and unique swim.
