An indicator of place for everyone is that cruise ship tourists who arrive in Progreso, population of the Yucatecan coast, choose the Tza Ujun Kat for its facilities. The proximity on the same corner of the road that crosses Homún from El Cenote Restaurant, a spacious place where you can taste Yucatecan food, is another factor that makes it comfortable. The restaurant is run by the Santa Rosa cenote, another of the most popular cenotes that is just a stone's throw away.

Cenote Tza Ujun Kat

Cenote Tza Ujun Kat It is of the closed type inside a cave, with two entrances: one is the entrance with comfortable concrete stairs that you must go down to the cenote, and the other is the large opening formed by the collapse of the roof from the cenote, where natural light enters and makes it a very cozy cenote. When it rains a waterfall of fresh water falls on the central platform of the cenote to the crystal clear waters.
