The three Pixyah cenotes, which one more beautiful 🙂 Do you want to go?

Noh Mozon, Nah Ya and Suhem are the three Pixyah cenotes, a town known for its beautiful cenotes. If it weren't for its three wonders Pixyah would go unnoticed.

The Yucatecan population of Pixyah has three fantastic cenotes to enjoy. In addition to these beautiful cenotes, the beautiful façade of the Pixyah estate welcomes you with its deep red under the blue sky.

Some Yucatecan populations such as Cuzamá, Homún, Albalá, Sabacché, Tunkás and a host of others have benefited from the cenotes they have in their land to encourage tourism. Reaching populations that surely would not have apparent motivation for tourism if it were not for their cenotes. This means that the local business can be favored, either by buying in small shops, from the man who sells coal chickens on the road or any small local business.

For years I wanted to go to know this cenote, and finally it was given to me. I had seen photos that exerted me as a powerful magnet to Pixyah, we live trapped in the visual power of photos and videos.

Nah Ya Cenote

Nah Yah was another of the cenotes that I really wanted to visit. I did not take photos with the camera, only with the cell phone because we were late to see it well lit. This cenote changes a lot being lit or not, so I advise you to visit it from 11 to 13 hours, depending on the time of year.

Cenote Suhem

I love the excitement of being surprised, and it's something I did in the Suhem cenote. He is the only one he did not know before arriving at Pixyah, he had not seen any photo, and we just arrived at the good hour of light: in the afternoon starting at 15 hours.

Remember that if you want to know more cenotes we have in the menu of the blog all CENOTES, where you will find many others to visit on your way through Mayan lands. Follow the rules of the good cenotero that we show you next, let's keep these treasures.

WHAT TO BRING TO TOURIST CENOTES? Swimsuit and towel or pareo to dry after bath. A change of clothes to change, hat, insect repellent (use it after bathing if you stay in the area and there are insects). Do not forget the mask or visor (in many cenotes they rent, but that way you save it). You can access most of the tourist cenotes with flip flops, the closed shoe always gives you greater protection, it is my choice almost always. Booties or water shoes are not necessary to access the cenotes. Bring water, the heat squeezes a lot and you need constant hydration.

THE LAW OF THE GOOD CENOTER: To avoid contaminating the delicate water of the cenotes do not use body creams, or protectors, or repellents before entering them. Go through the shower before entering the cenote. Do not hang on the roots of the trees, or touch the stalactites, or do any other idiocy that damages the place. If we learn to appreciate the natural environment we will better treat it.
