Cenote Suytun, Mexico

Postcard: Cenote Suytun, Mexico

The natural beauty and unique features are what make Cenote Suytun one of the best cenotes in Mexico. It is also one of the most photogenic and Instagrammable cenotes.

  • Cenote Suytun is located 8 kilometers east of Valladolid, Mexico.
  • It is a semi-open cenote, its swimming hole is located underground and there is a small opening in the roof.
  •  It is one of the most shallow cenotes, its depth ranges from 1 to 5 meters.
  • The name Suytun means center stone.
  • The reason why this cenote is so unique is that it has a spark of natural light beaming down into the middle of the cave through a hole in the roof. 
  • The cenote has an idyllic stone pathway that stretches out into the middle of turquoise waters.
  • One of the most fascinating things besides the beam of light shining through is the incredible rock formations and stalactites on the roof.
  • The best time to visit the Cenote Suytun is during the drier months, between December and May. 
  • Swimming in Cenote Suytun is allowed.
