Cenote Dzalbay

We had the whole cenote for ourselves!! We had been there at around 2-4 pm so the sun would stand perfectly and the local guy could illuminate the cave with some self-built reflectors. Great experience and only 50 Pesos per person!

If you don’t like overcrowded cenotes where you have to wear life jacket then this is the one! Located in garden of local man in Dzalbay you just get an authentic cenote experience. Lightened only by natural light but with massive speleothems all around the cave. Amazing!

Ok, so this is NOT a beautiful vine filled cenote. It's underground, and only naturally lit. But absolutely stunning nevertheless. The owner adds to the charm. My boyfriend was nervous about getting in the water, so the owner got in with him. It was absolutely charming. We saw no one else the whole time we were there. The owner told us visitors are rare. Try to go at noon, when the maximum light comes in the ceiling holes.

Sort of accidentally ended up here. Nobody else was there. No facilities. A very friendly man led us into a beautiful, peaceful cenote for only a tip-like amount of money. The entrance is somewhat tiny and scary but this leads quickly into the spacious cenote. He knew a lot to tell about it (all in Spanish) and did his best to give us a nice tour. Off the beaten track and very basic, but definitely worth a visit if you’re into those kinds of tiny adventures.

It lacks a little more lighting but it is a Virgin place! And the place is quite appreciated, also very quiet
