Cenote Miguel Colorado

Two limestone cenotes surrounded by dense vegetation offer swimming and kayaking opportunities within a preserved natural environment near Miguel Colorado village.

The formation of these sinkholes occurred over millions of years through the dissolution of limestone bedrock by groundwater, creating deep natural pools.

Local communities maintain these cenotes as sacred places, following the traditions of their Maya ancestors who considered them gateways to the underworld.

The site requires a 70-kilometer journey south from Champotón, with admission packages including kayak rentals and access to zip-lines across the cenotes.

Spider monkeys and howler monkeys inhabit the surrounding forest, while the nearby Laguna de Mokú houses a population of wild crocodiles.
