- Caucel Pueblo, Yucatán, Mexico - Begin the day with a drive to rural communities located an hour south of Mérida. This adventure includes visits to four distinct cenotes, with a break for a traditional lunch midway through the day. The tour highlights cenotes managed by local communities, with entrance fees directly benefiting them. Some of these communities are quite remote, with only a few residents, and the journey involves traveling on dirt roads. However, the experience is truly rewarding. These cenotes are not typical tourist attractions; they are more rustic and have been preserved in their natural state.

Amazing tour. - I took this tour because I wasn’t really sure how to get to the cenotes on my own, and when I found out there were so many, I felt a bit overwhelmed. Without a doubt, it was a great decision. It was an amazing day with Eric — we learned so much and, most importantly, got to enjoy some truly spectacular cenotes that were practically empty. In three out of the four cenotes we visited, there was no one else around. Eric gave us a detailed explanation of how they were formed, and we also had plenty of time to explore each one. On top of that, we had a break for a traditional lunch, which honestly was some of the best food I’ve had in Mexico. I highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful, stay with me forever! - Amazing day! All four cenotes were unique. Eric was a wonderful guide whose knowledge of the geography and stories made the day that much more special. Plus, the best lunch ever!

Cenote Magic - Eric did an amazing job on the cenote tour where we got to visit above and below ground cenotes. The private tour is a must if you want to enjoy yourself, feel relaxed, and rejuvenated without the hustle and bustle of crowds. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a more authentic Merida experience.

Our guide was Sergio and... - Our guide was Sergio and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the area and very easy to talk with as we visited each cenote. The cenotes that we visited were all different and were not crowded! I would highly recommend this tour.

Fun day exploring cenotes - An amazing experience with Eric. It was very small excursion as only 4 of us plus Eric. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Each of the cenotes we visited was different and provided very unique experience, plus they weren’t very busy at all adding more rustic feel. Great experience overall. Thank you for such a fun day.

Recommended, unique and unmatched. - 4 essential cenotes and nothing touristic Merida, for a relaxing day and really connect with nature, meditate and think that nature is majestic.
Breakfast was delicious and the transport van was very comfortable.
100% recommended.
On the other hand, we also toured with Erick de Chichen Itza and I recommend it 100%.
Thanks for everything.

The day was really nice. - The cenotes were spectacular and very different. Besides, we had almost all of them to ourselves. Unfortunately I couldn't taste some of the food because I'm a vegetarian, but my friends who tried the protein dishes told me they were delicious. I ate only one salad, which was good. The duration of the tour also seemed great, because the day, despite everything, seemed long. Also, it was a lot of fun!
