Cenote X'Canché
A cenote run by a local community near the Ek' Balam ruins, reachable by bicycle or tricycle taxi. There is a zip line and rappelling on site.
X'Canché lies about 1.5 km from the entrance to the Ek' Balam ruins and is run by a local Maya community cooperative. From the ruins' gate you can rent a bicycle, take a tricycle taxi or walk along a jungle path to reach it. It is a semi-open, round cenote with plant-covered rock walls, and a wooden ladder leads down to the water, where swimming is allowed. A zip line runs over it, and you can also rappel down into the cenote. There are wooden cabins for overnight stays and a restaurant. It is a good place to cool off after visiting the ruins.
