$400 Mx per person, without reservation. Two Cenotes. Life jackets required. The road there has a rope across that a local family controls. They have nothing to do with the Cenote entrance. Be aware. Once we arrived entry was 400mx/per person, a little high in comparison to other surrounding Cenotes. There was also a provided buffet that at first we were told we could eat from for $20 Mx/per person. When we went to pay they bumped it up to $200 Mx/ person. Red Flag. Beers were $75 Mx vs the usual $35-50 Mx. While the Cenotes were pretty and it was nice to see two in one place, the staff seemed manipulative and as if they were making up prices on the spot to get more money out of anyone who doesn’t fluently speak Spanish or Make sure to go early to beat the tour buses dropping off...

I can't believe I didn't read that in the reviews before but do. not. bycicle. to get there. Horrible 35min drive along the highway with trucks passing full speed really close. Just wished I had been warned before, so here you go. Rent a car or take the collectivo, much easier although you might have to walk a little.

Other thing not mentioned : apparently you have to book online? So we showed up and the lady requested 400 pesos/person, because the price of 250 is only for online reservation. Non-negotiable. We were drenched and exhausted after cycling and this just really made our day worse.

Appart from that - the cenotes were beautiful. Crystal clear water, and very quiet. Would...
