Next, we will travel to Cenote Xkeken (also known as Dzitnup), where you will be able to experience one of the incredible phenomenons of the Yucatan. These are fresh water pools or 'lakes' found all over the peninsula. (Read about cenotes in National Geographic here.) You can swim in the cenote or just enjoy the beauty of this incredible 'cave'.
