Cenote Papakal, also called Paraíso Papakal, is on the road between Cuzamá and Homún, a 30-minute drive from Mérida.Because of its location, it is one of the least-visited cenotes in Yucatán, making it a favourite of those wanting to get away from the crowds.Papakal is a cavern-type cenote with a maximum depth of 31 m and three tunnels perfect for cave diving that branch off the main cavern.Bats flit above the water in this peaceful and silent cenote.The turquoise-coloured water is crystal clear, and rock columns, stalagmites, and stalactites fill the cavern, making it a wondrous sight.Camping and cabins are available at this cenote and bathrooms and dressing rooms.Life vests are recommended, as only a tiny area is shallow, but hiring a life vest is not included in the entry fee.Cenote Papakal is at Eknakán, Cuzama, Yucatan, Mexico.
