Due to the limestone basis of the Yucatan Peninsula, there are no rivers, which means the ancient Mayans had to rely on aquifers. The most important water source were sinkholes called cenotes. This one was so important it was sacred and viewed as a gateway to the underworld. It is a must see but the trail is lined with trinket sellers, which means you have to run the gauntlet to get here.

I’m not sure what others are talking about. This cenote is difficult to see and is not permitted to enter. It is surely not an attraction to see let alone swim. Very disappointing. There are ruins at the top but the cenote is surrounded with barbed wire

The Late Classic city was centered upon the area to the southwest of the Xtoloc cenote, with the main architecture represented by the substructures now underlying the Las Monjas and Observatorio and the basal platform upon which they were built

There is a misunderstanding. Centre Xtoloc is and has not been open for swimming. The water is dirty and full of plants. For swimming you have to Go to nearby Cenote Ik Kil. They are charging 200$MEX/pax for life vest, locker and car parking.

It was a sacred place for the Maya's in Chichen-Itza. There's a temple structure next to it - similar to other people, this cenote is largely overgrown with vegetation and certainly no swimmable. Geo-location photo in my review attached.

Important : this Cenote is not swimmable nor approchable, it was a sacrifice place and you can only watch from upstairs. Still impressive and included with the regular ticket
