Cenote Suytun - 97780 Valladolid

Nice cenote to swim and to take that instagrammable picture. We were here around 10 AM and there were not that many people so we could spend more time taking lots of pictures. The entrance was for visiting 2 cenotes, the other cenote was quite dirty (see picture). When we were there, nobody was swimming

This place is absolutely incredible you can swim but you have to wear a life vest it’s not so clear. This place is very pretty to go and take a picture which the majority of people go there for mainly that. Don’t worry about the crowd you’ll get your turn, if you just wait in line. You’ll get that amazing picture as you can see. I really enjoyed it besides a picture because I got to learn a lot about the traditions and it’s a nice place to walk around and see all the caves

Super helpful staff, gorgeous and huge cenote inside!! Water is the perfect temperature to swim. Need to line up to get your photo, and since this cenote is set up for Instagram you do pull in some of the pretentious crowd. But still a great place to see! Go early or go late to avoid the crowd.

Cenote Suytun is everything you expect. It's truly a great photo location (especially if the light cooperates) but also visited by a lot of people. A while back, arriving at 9 am (opening) would ensure you some privacy but now, ironically, many people are starting to arrive at 9 am. However, the management is doing an excellent job. The staff at the cenote ensure everyone gets 2 mins to get their shot sans interruptions with a queue and whistle. It's per individual so if you're a group of 3, each person gets 2 mins. What could ruin the frame is if many visitors decide to go for a swim at the same time - which, thankfully, did not happen during my visit. Honestly, this is not really a "swimming cenote" so I'd just focus on the photo. Yes, you can get multiple "2-mins windows of posing" as long as you rejoin the queue. If there are too many visitors, the staff may limit your overall visit to 1-2 hrs. Lighting inside the cenote space is on the darker side so make sure you have camera equipment that can handle low light. Yes, as of now, DSLR + tripods are allowed without additional fee. The light beam typically happens between 11 am to 1 pm if the sky is clear. How pronounced it is will also depend on humidity and suspended air particles. You can shoot from the base of the podium or from the stairs leading to it. You cannot, however, scramble over the rocks off the stairs (they won't let you). If you're just looking to get photos without posing yourself, you can request to get to the base of the podium below without having to get in the queue. Life jackets are provided and required if you're going to swim. You don't need them on the podium as long as it's not submerged too deep. You will need to take a shower regardless if you plan on walking on the podium for the photo (if it's submerged). How submerged the podium is depends on how much rain there has been in recent days. During our visit, the water came up to my thighs. Changing rooms were spacious and clean. Tickets are cash only (120 pesos per person). This place is yet another location suffering from over-visitation and stupid "influencers" but it's still worth getting your own photo with an epic pose! Be patient and courteous and you will find other visitors doing the same for you too.

Lovely cenote but it fills up fast. Best get there good and early. There are actually two cenotes and both are lovely but the second and less visited one is great for birdwatching. 150 gets you in and includes the life vest. You must shower before entering the cenotes, bit at least the men's shower were kinda gross.

Amazing cenote. Bought tickets online..saved 20 pesos..$130. Took a taxi there for 80..and 100 peso back. Water was warm. A few catfish to swim with. Got there early...not busy at all.

What a incredible experience awaits you once you go down by the stairs. This Cenote is completely underground. You need to take a shower before entering so that you wash off all your sunscreen, creams and perfumes. You have to wear a life vest if you want to swim here though most people come here to stand and take a picture. This place is very famous with Instagramers so most times you need to patiently wait for your turn for that picture. You have ample parking nearby and it’s a short work from the parking. Entry is 150 Mexican pesos but you can as well but tickets online.

Beautiful cenote! Picture taking here is popular and requires standing in a queue as everyone wants a picture in the center. The water color and cave formation is breathtaking. Can swim with a life jacket but not many fishes to see if you are thinking of snorkeling here.
