This geocache is just outside of the town of Cenotillo, known to have over 150 cenotes in the area. Many of the cenotes in this area have no signage and require guides, however this cenote does have signage and does not require a guide.
The actual cache is NOT within the cenote but near the parking area. There is a sign at the entrance of the sideroad indicating the cenote. Please re-hide the cache carefully to prevent mugglers.
After you find the cache, it is highly recommended that you look into the cenote, known as Cenote Ucil. You will not regret it. It is in a cave, so watch your head as the ceiling is low in one particular spot. There are well-kept wooden stairs leading you down into the cenote. The water is crystal clear and provides a very refreshing swim.
A cenote (Maya = dzonot ) is a natural sinkhole created after limestrone bedrock collapses exposing the water underneath. There are various types of cenotes . . . land level (similar to a pond), open well, semi-underground or completely underground. The ancient Maya sometimes used cenotes for their water source, ceremonies, or sacrificial offerings.
