Welcome to a blog post that captures highlights from our day trip to Chocholá and the Cenote San Ignacio!

It had been such a full day in Mérida on Sunday, we took Monday off! 🙂

Earlier in their stay, Val & George and James & Alison had found reference to the Cenote San Ignacio, in Chocholá, south of Mérida and had actually made their way to visit it.
So it was somewhat easier for us to find it when the six of us made our way! However, if you missed the little sign on the telephone post, you’d miss it!
We found the location and parked in what looked like someone’s private driveway because it actually was! After making our way to the actual Entrada, we paid our dues and entered a little sanctuary!
It was amazing to see the beautiful cenote! The ceiling was fairly low as you entered, but quickly opened up so you could stand up safely. The rock shelf leading to the water’s edge was a bit tricky, but soon we were all in the clean, clear, warm water!
After a wonderful swim, we all came back up to enjoy the hot sun in the gardens!
This was a very memorable visit to Cenote San Ignacio, our first cenote!
The next blog post will highlight our our last day in the Chicxulub beach house and my encounter with a sea beast!
Cheers!
Love to all,
-Doug and Elaine
More great memories Doug. We have had so many great times down in Mexico, it’s fun to remember them all. Thanks so much for doing these.
