Cha’ Chaac (Ask the gods for rain)

General information

The name “Cha’ Chaac” is inspired by Mayan mythology, where Chaac is the god of rain. The cenote bears this name in honor of the importance of water in the region and its connection to the ancient Mayan culture.

It is located near the town of Valladolid, about 80 km away from the city of Mérida, and is one of the most fascinating destinations for nature lovers and explorers.

The Cenote Cha’ Chaac is a geological wonder that is characterized by its circular shape and its limestone walls. Its opening, located on the surface, reveals an impressive view of the crystalline water that extends throughout the entire cavern. Sunlight penetrates through the holes in the ceiling, creating a magical lighting effect and highlighting the blue and green tones of the water.

When descending the stairs that lead to the cenote, a dreamlike underground world unfolds. The cool temperature and humidity in the air provide welcome relief from the tropical heat outside. Stalactites and stalagmites that hang from the ceiling and rise from the ground add an intricate beauty to this natural wonder.

This cenote offers a unique experience for divers and snorkeling lovers, since by immersing yourself in its crystal clear waters you can appreciate the impressive visibility and the variety of aquatic life that lives in this underground ecosystem. Aquatic explorers can marvel at schools of brightly colored tropical fish, underwater rock formations, and lush aquatic plants.

In addition to its natural beauty, Cenote Cha’ Chaac offers facilities to welcome visitors. There are observation platforms, suspension bridges and rest areas, where visitors can admire the spectacular panoramic view and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. Life jackets and snorkeling equipment are also provided for those who wish to explore the cenote waters.
