Valladolid: choose one direction
Ik Kil is near Chichén Itzá to the west; Suytun is east; Samulá and Xkekén are near Dzitnup to the southwest. Zací is in town. Choose one main outing rather than treating six names as one quick loop.
Choose your Yucatán cenote outing
Choose a cenote near the overnight base you already want: Valladolid has several different directions to explore, Gran Cenote is inland from Tulum, and Cenote Azul here is in Bacalar.

Tulum and Bacalar are different journeys
Gran Cenote is outside Tulum town. The Cenote Azul in this catalog is near Bacalar, not the similarly named site near Playa del Carmen. Check the exact map location before choosing a tour.
Entry and swimming rules belong to each site
Confirm current admission, stairs and changing facilities, flotation rules and whether swimming is permitted that day. Follow required showers and restrictions on products or equipment. A photograph does not establish conditions or access.

6 places
01 · South of Bacalar townCenote Azul is a separate inland swimming stop south of town, not a lagoon boat tour and not the identically named cenote near Playa del Carmen. Check the entrance and swimming rules for this Bacalar site.

02 · Northwest of Tulum townGran Cenote is inland from the coast. Confirm the current entrance, equipment and swimming rules directly before visiting; preserve the site by following shower and product restrictions rather than assuming all cenotes share one policy.

03 · Near Chichén Itzá, YucatánIk Kil is near Chichén Itzá, west of Valladolid. Pair them only if the archaeological visit and transfer leave a comfortable swimming window; cenote entry is separate from the ruins ticket.

04 · Dzitnup, southwest of ValladolidSamulá and Xkekén are two cenotes in the Dzitnup area. Check which entrances your ticket covers and allow time for stairs, changing and the journey back to town.

05 · East of ValladolidSuytun is east of town and is a different outing from Chichén Itzá. Choose it for the cave setting; the familiar light-beam photograph is dependent on conditions, timing and water level.

06 · Central ValladolidThis source record refers to the town cenote commonly written Zací. It fits a Valladolid town day better than a cross-peninsula detour. Check current swimming and visitor access locally.

Questions before you go
Which cenote pairs with Chichén Itzá?
Ik Kil is near the archaeological site. Keep it optional after the ruins when entry, the swim and the onward journey leave time.
Does this guide include the Cenote Azul near Playa del Carmen?
No. Fyno’s Cenote Azul record here is in Bacalar, farther south. Verify the pin when booking a similarly named excursion.
