Ik Kil Cenote

Cenote Ik Kil is only 10 min drive from Chichen Itza. There is an ample parking lot next to it and we had no issues parking. The cenote is about 60 meters in diameter and about 40 meters deep. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful cenotes in Mexico. The waters of Ik Kil were considered sacred by the Mayans who performed here human sacrificing to their rain god. The best part of the visit is that you are allowed to swim in the cenote and even jump from a small hight (see videos below). It was exactly what we needed after a sleepless night, long drive and a very hot day!
