The cenotes near Valladolid, far from the tourist routes that go inland from the Riviera Maya coast, such as the Cenote Xla'kaj, are centers where you can enjoy the quiet local atmosphere.
Cenote Xla'kaj (old town) It is located south of the beautiful colonial city of Valladolid, near the town of Xocén. Combining a visit to both places is great, it is a good local immersion tour from Valladolid.
Xla'kaj cenote location
It is well indicated on the road that leaves Valladolid on the way to Xocén. It is an open cenote, as always decorated by the magnificent nature of the Yucatecan jungle. The roots that look for fresh water give us impossible shapes and the reflections again adorn the watery corners.
Cenote Xla'kaj is one of our recommended Valladolid cenotes
Cabins and lodging in the Xla'kaj cenote
In many cenotes with a more local atmosphere, outside the most common tourist circuits, the pool area becomes as important as the cenote itself. This happens in cenotes such as Oxman, Suytun or Xla'kaj, where the locale likes bathing in the pool more than in the cenote. So the pool area and its services usually have more movement than the cenote. I like to take advantage of eating some dish and see the local atmosphere that moves between laughter, confidences and gossip. On Sundays it is when more people visit the local cenotes, during the easy week you will be alone.
Cenote Xla'Kaj also offers hosting services, in rustic and simple cabins with air conditioning.
In the cenote are sometimes the bravest practicing nailed (jumps) TIt has some jumps of more than 5 meters somewhat vertiginous to pass close to the rock.
In the Cenote Xla'kaj you can enjoy one of the most authentic spa of nature. The amount of daring fish that inhabit the crystalline waters take pains to groom you. How enjoyed these little details of the road.
