Explore the only Mayan city continuously inhabited for 3,000 years — then plunge into the ethereal Cenote Xlacah, a sapphire-blue sacred pool right inside the archaeological zone, before the tour buses arrive.
What to expect
Ride just 20 minutes from the pier to Dzibilchaltún, arriving as morning light angles through the Temple of the Seven Dolls — the only Mayan temple with windows, designed to frame the sunrise equinox. Your private archaeologist-guide decodes the site's 3,000-year span before leading you to Cenote Xlacah, one of the deepest cenotes in the Yucatán, where you swim in 44-metres of crystalline fresh water surrounded by ancient ceremonial offerings visible beneath the surface. Snorkelling equipment is included.
Good to know
Total duration ~3.5 hours, making this ideal if you wish to combine it with a Progreso beach afternoon. The cenote is cool year-round (~24°C) — bring a light towel and water shoes. Pack snorkel gear or confirm it's included when booking. Pierside pick-up available.
