Find amazing swimming at Il Kil

While staying in sunny Cancun, you might enjoy a day trip to Il Kil. Located on the highway between between Chichén Itzá and Valladolid, Il Kil is located within an ecological and archeological park. It is about a 2 hours from Cancun.

This park also contains the Sagrado Cenote Azul, in a sinkhole (cenote) that is 26 meters deep and surrounded by vegetation. Its crystal blue waters are ideal for swimming. It is open daily from 8AM to 6PM

This collapsed limestone karst is open to the sky but eighty two feet below ground level and reached by a huge stairway. The water is one hundred feet deep and cold, a great way to beat the heat!

You will find the cenote to be amazingly beautiful, with 100 foot vines growing down reaching for the water. The property grounds are really tropical, and beautifully manicured. There’s a restaurant on site as well.
