Tourist Guide

Exploring the cenotes at Cuzama by horse drawn mining cart
Cuama's Cenotes Suppressing the similarities to the caving horror film ‘The Ascent’, this cenote is very special and very creepy. You will approach an incredible tree that may or may not come alive at night. There will be a steep ladder you will not want to climb down backwards. You will. Make your way through the stalactites and stalagmites to a body narrow body of water at the end of the stairs. You will not want to get into the black water but you will. It’s ‘fresh’ not cold, apparently. Also very deep, but do not think about that as flashbacks from The Ascent will absolutely kick in. You will swim for about 10 meters and climb back out of the blackness, unscathed. Make your way back to your belongings and smile as the next cenotes are much less creepy!
Just outside of the village of Cuzama are the 'Cuzama cenotes'. Arrive in the town and boys on bikes will show you where to go. Their dads will then take you on a horse and cart out into old hacienda grounds and there are 3 cenotes you can then climb down into. They are completely unspoiled and no crowds! The water is crystal clear and beautiful. A great way to spend a day! #troveon #mexico #cuzama
