Cenote Lol Ha is one of the great attractions of the Mayan town of Yaxunah, a very interesting town where you can learn about the current Mayan culture and the ancient Mayan world. The Lol Ha cenote is truly luxurious.
In the interesting town of Yaxunah there are several cenotes and caves to discover. The LolHa cenote is located next to the Yaxunah community center, it is a well-conditioned cenote with a vertigo staircase through which you descend to the crystal clear waters, respecting the nature that surrounds it, which makes it really beautiful.

Birds and mammals are regulars of cenote Lol Ha, the roots and matapalos descend in search of water, this great treasure that feeds the whole planet and that unfortunately we have neglected. We must educate ourselves in the conscience of taking more care of the treasures of our places, so do not bathe in cenotes if you have used creams and other products in your body.

CENOTES AND MAYAN CULTURE in YAXUNAH
As we have said on more than one occasion, the ancient Maya built their cities near cenotes, just like the old Yaxunah, which served them to supply fresh water comfortably.
The Mayans have a special relationship with the cenotes, these are part of the creation and perception of the Mayan world. The cenotes are part of the Mayan underworld, one of its three great levels: underground, earthly, and heavenly. This underground world is called metnal in Yucatec, olontic in tzotzil or xibalbá in Quiché, this being the most used word when referring to this concept.
In this land we learned to ask permission, a precise and precious act that places you in the space you are about to enter. We give thanks for having learned to ask permission 😊
In the cenote Lol Ha You can stop for a refreshing bath to remove the Yucatecan heat after visiting the remains of Yaxunah or those of Chichén Itzá, which are also close to you. Here you will live away from the floods of tourists from the Riviera Maya who come to know Chichén.
Yaxunah is one of the most authentic Mayan towns where you can sleep in cabins. I warn you that this area has a hook.

Hello Sandra. Another impressive cenote, the truth that all are beautiful, some stand out for some thing or another but the truth that all that you have published or have seen on the web, are amazing.
Changing the subject, one more question, change money, airport, bank or exchange houses, what is the best option? . Although it has always been said that changing money at the airport is the worst, last year was the best option on our trip to Japan.
Thank you very much for everything and we read.

Hello travelers,
The questions that are needed, you already know. Honestly I do not know where to get the best change, but I think that exchange houses are the best option. I do not go crazy with the subject, I usually bring something in local currency from home or small ticket to change something if urgent. And in Valladolid look for a change house or take out a card, to see what commission they say in your bank, sometimes it is not so much.
Thank you.
A hug!
