The Best Mexican Cenote Day Trip From Merida!
Alrighty fellow travelers, this one is a doozy! I am off a tour deep into the Yucatan state of Mexico. Join me as I climb some of the Mayan Ruins at ancient Mayapan Archeological Zone. The history of the native cultures in one of their final strongholds before the colonial era began is absolutely amazing. Filled with mysticism, rituals, and sacrifices, you can truly feel the ancient energy in this place.
Afterwards I head to the Santa Barbara Cenotes to cool off. Set in a lush Ecological Park, you get to visit three separate cenotes all within half a mile of each other. Each cenote has it's own character that truly wows anyone that descends into them.

I don't remember but, did you guys hit the Santa Barbara Cenotes? I remember the town of homun you guys did which wasn't too far from where I went to.
Loved the ruins. And yes, I agree that the 3rd senote was the best. Loved the opening that let in the light.

Indeed they are. As a history buff I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ha loved the intro! I also enjoyed visiting the cenotes when I go to Mexico and there are so many to choose from. That ride was a little bumpy on that bus. I think I still need to visit Mayapan - going to add that to my next trip itinerary.

It's easily overlooked since most head to Chichen-Itza. Fun fact after Chichen-Itza fell Mayapan was the next city built.
Really beautiful place to explore, I love it

I may have been to one of the same cenote in 2019!!!! The jump was fabulous ( we got partly down on a rope n then jumped ) but the fall gave me the worst headache ever!!!! And the water was cold even in September!!! I can imagine how awesome your experience must have been!!!!

Might've been a different Cenote. Although probably not too far. I don't remember any of these having a rope to climb down to a drop. Still any Cenote is fun.
What's the term for fear of deep water? Thalassophobia? That's exactly what I felt watching this video. So glad I can experience through your videos, I don't think I could do it on my own!

Did not know that was the term name. It can be a bit intimidating at the beginning when you first look into the depths. However, seeing so many others in there I'm like, "well if there is anything in there I have a 1/50 chance of being eaten 😂"
so gotta say sir, very disappointed that you didn't proceed to the underworld and show us what it was like there. Otherwise though great video, full of info as always! :) Happy New Year!
