No lo recomiendo en lo absoluto lis mismos te tragan y lo peor es que no silo los moscos me picó un tabano y me dejo inflamada como 4 días dejo evidencia ya que los residentes de la isla esto lo te lo dicen y su única intención es sacarte el dinero aparte la bioluminisencia ni se aprecia tiene que hacer todo un ritual para poder medio verla... (Translated by Google) I do not recommend it at all, they swallow you up and the worst thing is that it's not just the mosquitoes, a horsefly bit me and left me swollen for about 4 days, leaving evidence since the residents of the island tell you this and their only intention is to get your money, apart from the bioluminescence you can't even see it, you have to do a whole ritual to be able to even half see it...

El cenote en si muy bonito, pero los trabajadores muy maleducados y antipáticos 500 pesos la entrada Por menos dinero hay cenotes igual de bonitos y que te tratan mejor (Translated by Google) The cenote itself is very beautiful, but the workers are very rude and unfriendly. 500 pesos for admission. For less money, there are cenotes that are just as beautiful and that treat you better.
