A FAIRY TALE WORLD IN THE YUCATAN

Last week my son visited us from Florida, it was his first visit since 1 year and we were very excited to see him and our daughter in law.

We decided to go to Cuzama. A 45 minutes drive from Merida.

We went on a rail track with a horse pulling a cart over 9 km.

We visited 3 cenotes. The last one was my favorite. Although hard to climb down, but worth every effort.

I felt sorry not taking my swim suit with me. But this won't be my last visit to Cuzama.

I can understand that there are people addicted to cenotes.

Fyi: the price per cart is 200 pesos.

Enjoy!




Even the "banos" were pretty decent :)














With very little rim around the water there wasn’t much room for standing around admiring the view–best just to jump into the impossibly clear, deep water. Feeling a bit like Tarzan? Swim to the center of the cenote, climb up a mass of tree roots dangling near the surface and dive off!









The third cenote was the most treacherous to reach. Accessed via a steep wooden ladder straight down a rocky shoot, it felt a bit like going into a well. The space opens up at the bottom of the ladder to reveal a huge cenote with really terrific rock formations and great color and shadows thanks to a number of “skylights” to the surface.
