#Green Back in 2010, I and my partner went to the Sian Ka'an Bisopshere reserve, as well as being luscious green and unspoiled , this place promotes Green Tourism, we didn't have any electricity in the place we stayed, it was part of the experience, we loved it

Felipe Carrillo Puerto

Just one look inside the Choj Ha cenote was all I needed to place it in the No. 1 spot in my list of All-Time Favorite Cenotes. A massive cave full of columns, stalactites and stalagmites, with a beautiful area for swimming and another one for cave diving. Even though it is located around 30 minutes away from Valladolid, it is a fairly unknown cenote managed by a small mayan community. Definitely worth the ride if you're looking for a really interesting place off the beaten path.
