Cenote Palomitas is near Valladolid in Yalcobá, not far from the pyramid attraction of Chichen Itza.
It’s a cavern-type cenote with stalactites hanging from the ceiling towards the clear, blue water of this 45 m deep cenote.
Natural openings in the ceiling allow sunlight to shine on the water, while artificial lighting inside the cavern helps to illuminate the electric-blue colour of the water.
Bathrooms and dressing rooms are available at this site, and you can rent life vests and kayaks.
There’s a local restaurant serving Yucatecan food here too.
Cenote Aguadulce is 100 m from Palomitas, so it is easy to visit both cenotes together.
Cenote Palomitas is not as well-known as many other cenotes in this area, so fewer people means that visitors seeking a peaceful place will be able to enjoy this cenote.
Cenote Palomitas is in Yalcobá, Yucatan, Mexico.
