Cenote Sagrado

Used by the ancient Mayan inhabitants to perform rituals and pay tribute to their gods through religious sacrifices, this cenote was dredged over the years for the recovery of ceramics and jewelry of jade and onyx, human bones, pieces of gold, among others. It is the site where the largest number of offerings have been recovered and is considered one of the most important in the Rivera Maya.

It is also known as Cenote Chenkú and Cenote de los Sacrificios and is located in the archaeological zone of Chichen Itzá, it has 60 meters in diameter and a depth of 22 meters and is an open-type cenote. It is not suitable for bathing in it and can only be admired during your visit, so it is cordoned off to prevent people from approaching its shore.

Address: 60 kilometers north of the Kukulcan pyramid in the Chichen Itzá archaeological site.
