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.

Huge columns of rock come up from the bottom of Choj Ha, near the town of Xcan.
With this being my first time in Cancun, I was a tad overwhelmed with all the options of things to do. I'm so glad I picked AllTourNative to go climb the spiritual temples at Ek Balam, then to participate in a spiritual Mayan blessing with a local shaman, who blessed us with good fortune and safety before we entered the absolutely incredible Cenote Maya! This adventure was followed by a delicious lunch made by the Mayan locals from crops grown right there at the Cenote.
