The cenote chamber measures approximately 60 meters in diameter, making it one of the largest single-vault cenotes in the region.
The water within the cenote is naturally filtered through limestone layers, maintaining a consistent temperature year-round.
The park incorporates an ancient Mayan-style ceremonial platform used for traditional blessing rituals.
The sinkhole's primary access point includes a large wooden staircase integrated into the natural rock formation.
The property is managed to preserve the surrounding jungle ecosystem and native Yucatan flora.
Cenote Maya Park is an adventure-focused eco-park centered around one of the largest underground cenotes in the Yucatan Peninsula. The site features an expansive circular sinkhole accessible via a wooden staircase and a specialized rappel descent. The cenote is roofed with a natural opening that allows sunlight to illuminate the turquoise waters below. Park facilities include an onsite restaurant serving traditional Mayan cuisine and an area for regional cultural demonstrations. Visitors can engage in high-ropes courses and ziplining suspended over the jungle canopy. The park operates as a private eco-tourism site with organized guided access to the cavern. It is located near the rural community of Uspibil in the municipality of Chemax.

Do not attempt to swim without a life vest, even if you are an expert swimmer, due to the depth of the water.
