I ran across this video when searching for cenote ideas for my vacation coming up in March. This is the first time I’ve ever read about a private cenote you can rent just for your vacation party. That means no lines to get in, no other cenote visitors vying for space, it’s all yours to enjoy!! It’s called Cenote Elvira and it’s located on Ruta de los Cenotes road by Puerto Morelos.

Visiting Kin-Ha is like taking advantage of a two-for-one offer. There are two separate cenotes: a cave experience and an open cenote (Flora Blanca) that has several overwater ziplines (you jump from them halfway through the ride into the cenote) plus a diving platform with several levels (the lowest is a six-foot jump to the surface while the highest jump is approximately 45-feet for the very adventurous). Jumping into the cave cenote is allowed through the hole in the ceiling of the cenote (it’s about a 15-foot drop). If you take a tour you can add on a quad bike excursion, ziplining in the jungle, plus lunch and transportation from your resort. If you aren’t into group tours, you can see this cenote independently and just pay the entrance fee for swimming in two cenotes. This cenote is also popular with cave divers; scuba divers must have a special dive certification since this dive is deep and involves circling down into the cenote depths.
