After visiting the Mayan ruins at Uxmal, we drove to the Cenote at San Ignacio for the chance to cool down from the  long hot morning walk at the ruins.

This cenote is definitely worth seeing, although I would not rank it as one of my favourites. There are no discounts available here as it is a privately owned facility. After purchasing your ticket, you walk through the small gift shop and proceed down some fairly steep steps to a small cavern. The cenote is located in here and there is very little head room.

Everyone had a fantastic time swimming in this cenote. They were able to climb around the edges and jump into the cool cenote water. Easy to get into and out of but people who may be claustrophobic may not appreciate it as much! There is a restaurant beside the cenote with two pools and a large area for children to run around in. It was raining by this time so we did not stay in the area. There are change rooms/bathrooms available but you are not allowed to take any bags of any sort into the cenote.
