Ik-Kil Cenote near Chichen Itza, Mexico

Touring Chichen Itza all day is exhilarating but hot. Want a fast and fun way to cool down? Then make the 2.5 mile drive to KM marker 122 along Valladolid. It is thrilling to make a splash into this cool and refreshing water which is 130 feet deep. Ik-Kil is a cenote, a below ground cave exposed when the limestone collapsed. The Mayans believed these sacred wells were a portal to the underworld. Today, this 200 foot wide, vine-covered cavern is a popular tourist attraction.
