đŸ‡ČđŸ‡œ | CancĂșn Non-Lazy Day: 4 Cenotes + ChichĂ©n ItzĂĄ in One Go

The intensity was off the charts—but first, a huge shoutout to Tim Lyons, the best driver in all of CancĂșn! This driver uncle is genuinely amazing. We booked him on GetYourGuide, and it was only around $300+ for a 12-hour trip. We asked to leave an hour early (at 7 AM), and he had zero issues with it—total lifesaver! 🚗 1st Stop - 9:00 AM 📍 Cenotes Nicte-Ha & Dos Ojos (Also known as Monet’s Lotus Cenote and Two Eyes Cenote) đŸŽ« 700 Mexican Pesos These two cenotes are right next to each other, so you can buy a combined ticket—700 pesos per person, available on-site. They accept credit cards, cash (pesos or USD). Dos Ojos also offers in-depth adventures (snorkeling, bat cave exploration
), but that requires a separate ticket for 800 pesos per person (only for Dos Ojos) and takes about 1.5 hours total. Monet’s Lotus Cenote was so fun! It’s small, so going early means fewer people—and the water isn’t as cold once you get in. 🌾 2nd Stop - 2:00 PM (Local Time: 12:00 PM) 📍 Cenote Suytun đŸŽ« 250 Mexican Pesos Again, credit cards, pesos, and USD are accepted. But honestly? It was a letdown compared to the photos! The water still covered the platform (unlike the stunning shots from other bloggers). To get to the cenote, you have to walk down a very steep staircase underground, and the whole area felt eerie. There were also big, dark fish in the water—it creeped me out a bit, so I didn’t go swimming. 🐟 3rd Stop - 3:00 PM 📍 ChichĂ©n ItzĂĄ Pyramid (Will cover this in detail in a separate post!) đŸŽ« 548 + 95 Mexican Pesos The ticket and the protected area fee are paid separately, and they check them at different points. Since Suytun was underwhelming, we arrived at the pyramid way earlier than planned. The pyramid isn’t the most grand one out there, but seeing a Mayan pyramid for the first time was still super exciting! đŸȘœ The site is full of small vendors— I bought a beautiful dress and haggled the price down by half (oops, I think I could’ve more!). 4th Stop - 4:20 PM 📍 Cenote Ik Kil đŸŽ« 200 Mexican Pesos Credit cards and cash work here too—and this one was so fun! You can even jump into the water. But here’s a heads-up: you can’t wear shoes down to the cenote, so stepping on the stone paths hurt like crazy đŸ„č. Good news though—Ik Kil offers free locker rentals, as long as you don’t lose the key! #Mexico #MexicoTravel #Cancun #CancunTravel #InternationalStudentLife 🌿
