Cenote Chaak Tun

We took this tour with Tomás, a wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. After a punctual hotel pickup and a ~2 hour drive from Cancún, we got to Tulúm and had about two hours at the ruins. The guided tour was optional and we were allowed to roam on our own if we preferred. After meeting back up at the bus, we drove another hour or so to the Cenote. This is actually more like a cavern. The guide led us through the natural cave system which is inhabited by bats, catfish and many other species. Flashlights and life vests were provided. A very interesting and unique experience, to say the least. Some logistical tips for future travellers: bring sunblock and bug repellent with you to Tulúm. There are restrooms available there, as well as several take out food options for a lunch back on the bus (Subway, for example). At the Cenote, there are also restrooms available as well as lockers and changing rooms, so you can change in and out of your swimsuit on-site. We were picked up in Cancún around 7:30 AM and returned back around 6PM.
