The road is quite uneven go get there, but the spot is beautiful ! When we came a group left, and when we left a group came - so we had it all on our own ! Costs 100 pesos for each person - there are both toilets and showers at the spot !!

We only visited this cenote in our road trip from Cancun to CDMX and back, so I cannot compare with others. Yup, over 4000 km on the road behind us. And I am glad we saved this for our last days in Mexico. Cenote Kankirixche is sparkling clean (20.Aug.2025), there were not much people, only one Italian family, they were pokite dodn't made too much noise. Entrance fee is 100 pessos per person.

This cenote is small, but beautiful. Do not pay any attention to the review stating that the people charging 100 pesos are scam artists. Who do they think cleans and maintains the changing rooms, bathrooms, and showers? There are also life jackets available for those who need them. The dirt road leading to the cenote is quite rough, and very narrow, but it's manageable so long as you go slowly. Recommended!

A bit more covered with a touch of cooler water this cenote is lovely. A tour did come through as we were leaving but it wasn't very crowded. The color of the bottom and various formations make it a better experience. A simple bathroom was sufficient for the amenities. Well priced at 100 pesos

Nice small cenote, costs 100 MXN. In the ceiling there nests a lot of small birds. People at the park were friendly. If you arrive early, no tourists. We weren’t so lucky and had a group of loud Americans. But we enjoyed anyway.

About 2 km down a fairly bumpy dirt road, but worth the effort. 100M$ entry, parking area. Clean changing and shower area, restrooms. Good stairway leading down to a small wooden platform. Medium sized cavern with clear, clean water. Remember to shower before entering the cenote!

Please be aware of possible scams! This cenote has free entrance, but there are two people claiming you must pay 100 pesos per person to get in, they are lying. There’s no official ticket booth. We refused to pay and simply went ahead.

It's one of the nicest places I've ever seen! Not touristic and therefore not crowded. The ticket is around 10 usd. The road is dirty and with rocks, but slowly and carefully can be traversed by regular, not very low car. Highly recommended!!!
