The magical cenote of Dzitnup (or X’Keken in Mayan) is a must see while traveling through the Yucatan in Mexico. Because I was traveling during the slow season here (too hot for most people), there was almost no one at this magnificent cenote. My friends & I practically had it to ourselves!
Legend has it that Dzitnup Cenote was discovered when farmers tried to find a pig that had fallen down the hole and disappeared. The pool is filled with slow-moving black fish, and bats fly over your head while you swim around.

That is BEAUTIFUL!
I thought so too. One of the coolest places I’ve seen on my travels.
Love it!!
Matt – your pictures are phenomenal! I love getting the daily pics and descriptions of where you are and what you're doing. I hope you're having a great time!
Thanks guys! Hopefully much more to come.
I was at the Yucatan almost the same time with you (followed it on twitter), too bad we didn't cross path. This cenote was the last spot I visited before ending my trip in Yucatan. What a perfect way t end my trip, swimming in fresh water after baked in Yucatan sun for days. Your photo is magnificent! http://www.facebook.com/note.php?saved&&suggest…
Looks like you had a great time too! I loved this cenote, one of my highlights.
Magnificent!

Cenotes are some of the most amazing places I’ve ever been too! Can’t wait to get back to Mexico and explore more cenotes… and actually get to dive in this time!
