Cenote Chikin-Ha, Natural sinkhole system in Solidaridad, Mexico.

Cenote Chikin-Ha encompasses three distinct water-filled sinkholes, with limestone formations and underground passages extending throughout the geological structure.

The formation of these cenotes occurred over millions of years through the erosion of limestone bedrock, creating access points to the extensive underground water system.

The name Chikin-Ha derives from Maya language meaning Small Western Water, reflecting the indigenous understanding of the geographical characteristics of this location.

The entrance fee includes access to all three cenotes, snorkeling equipment rental, guided tours, and facilities such as showers and changing rooms.

The Ta'ak Bil-Ha section remains reserved for ceremonial purposes, maintaining its sacred status while the other two cenotes welcome swimmers.
