Xcajum eco-tourist center is located 1 hour and 40 minutes away from the city of Mérida, and 20 minutes from Chichén Itzá archeological site. “Xcajum” in Maya language means “the place of the sounds”. Here you can experience swimming in an open cenote, the only one in Yucatán with four look-outs located in different areas, in a way in which you can see the cenote from different perspectives, thus, you will have magnificent views. This cenote has a 131.2 ft depth, and in there, you will see the fauna within. To enter, you must descend approximately 114.8 ft through a stair; the first view of the cenote you will see is from outside, you will have a view from a high point, and you can see all the circumference, which measures approximately 164 ft of diameter. Then, we recommend that you watch the rest of the cenote from the other look-outs, it is undoubtedly the perfect place to take pictures, as you will have available the same scene, but from different angles. Another reason that makes this cenote unique is that due to its size, you can enjoy a tour boat.
In the restaurant, you can enjoy the excellent service and taste traditional dishes of the region with hand-made tortillas. You can also relax in the resting area, an open space surrounded by trees and with available hammocks. During your visit to Xcajum cenote you will feel good and connected to nature.
It includes restaurant, swimming pool, green areas, ATV, resting area. It is recommended to bring swimming suit and open shoes, sandals.
