[edit][add listing] Do
- Take the Tres Cenotes tour. A hired guide will take you 9km roundtrip via a horse-drawn railcar to visit three cenotes. The cost is 160MXP per railcar (not per person!) and swimming is encouraged, so be sure to take a swimsuit if interested. [2]. The entrance to Bolonchoojol is a hole in the ground with a ladder constructed by welding old railroad ties. Inside is well-lit cavern with crystal clear water and huge stalactites and stalagmites. Chansinic'che is another cenote at Cuzamá, also accessible with a railroad tie ladder, but a faster way to enter is to dive from a precipice near the surface (about 10 meters). Chelentun is much more open, and can be reached by a concrete staircase built into the rock, with a handrail. The entire cave is swimable.

==Drink== Before you take the tour, you can ask the household in the one and only store to cook for you. There are only two choices: chicken and Pok Chuk. The chicken is good, but the Pok Chuk is really special.
As you usually eat on your way back from the Cenotes, you can get there really hungry. Therefore my advice would be to ask for two dishes instead of one. The price is really cheap, about three U.S. dollars.
Drink? I think you should try one of Yucatan´s brand sodas: Krystal. Differente flavours, I personally like them all, but I would go for the "Negra" for it´s unique (not necessarily menanig pleasant for everyone) flavour. And, if you just don'y like it, as easy as asking for another flavour. Beverages must be about $8.00 mexican pesos.
