Cenote Toh (Yaxmulito) — Attraction in Quintana Roo

So many of the reviews and pictures here are for a tour and other places. We didn't do the tour. I drove directly here and this place was amazing. It was 4 of us (my wife, 2 daughters 10 & 12, and I). First I will say we were very skeptical. The entrance was by the road, I had to pay I think 200mxp a person, then someone opened a gate for us to drive through. My wife would've turned around. They drew us a little map to get back to the cenote. The road is pretty bad, but only about an 8 min drive. Go through the gate and turn right at your first turn to avoid private property. Go to a cell phone tower and turn left. When it comes to a T turn right and drive about 2 miles. Keep going past the sign for a campground and it will come up on the right. You then walk up a small hill. Up until this point we almost turned around.

Then we got to the changing facilities which were very nice and clean. Outdoor showers and life jackets provided. Walk down the stairs and you enter a huge cenote. Probably the size of a football field. Enough light to see, but kinda dark. Stalag tights are hanging down, lower ceiling and a few bats flying. We went to a few cenotes and this was probably our favorite. This place made our trip.

There weren't very many people there, and it was so secluded. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great experience. We...

This isn’t exactly what I expected in terms of a “cenote”, it’s more of a submerged cavern, but it did not disappoint! This was a very special experience, we used a third party guide which I highly recommend. The caverns are stunning and I hope future visits are respectful of the bats and other wildlife here. This place is lively, we saw jaguar paw prints and deer and fox prints. The wildlife if beautiful as well as the environment. The empanadas were fantastic, such a welcomed change from the gross resort food we had been forcing ourselves to eat. The coconut tequila drinks were good, I didn’t care for the taste, but everyone else in our party loved them. This place is an experience, would love to spend more time here again...

If you go to this Cenote, prepare to ride a while to the actual Cenote. We think it is a bit overpriced (15 dollar per person, kids as well). You are allowed to explore this Cenote a lot. The staff at the Cenote is really friendly. You will need to wear a swimsuit. You can see some sunscreen in the water of the Cenote. It’s mandatory to shower this off first. So if you want to visit a Cenote it is better to not rub sunscreen on your skin.

In the Cenote you can explore a lot and search for bats who live there.

At the entrance the people speak barely English, be aware of that. The staff at the Cenote does speak clearly English. Afterwards it is possible to relax and chill...
