What catches you most about the cenotes is that each one is a different space, they always surprise you. This is how it happened when we visited the Sac aua cenote, an immense open cenote where you will be amazed once again.
In the parking lot of the archaeological zone of Ek Balam, sometimes there are kids (children) who offer to explain a story or show you some place in the surroundings, as well as offering to take care of the car. They know the Sac aua cenote, one of the beautiful cenotes in this area. This is how we arrived years ago, hardly anyone knew the place.
Now there are more indications and it is easy to go on your own to the Sac aua.
The secondary road that takes you through the towns in the area is entertaining. Leaving the usual routes always refreshes the traveler. So now you know, if you travel through this area, don't forget this detour on your way to the town of Dzalbay. You will never make one cenote too many, they all deserve a visit.

Aktun Maya: Sacred Cenote Grotto Sac aua
Besides being able to visit the cenote, they have opened another cenote and a Mayan cave. The cenote is a cavern, I have not visited it. The cave collects all the evidences of being a sacred cave in ancient Mayan times: painted animal bones, ceramics, petro-engravings and a body of water. A sacred place where you must enter with the respect of being invited for the first time to a private house.
