Chichen Itza + Cenote Ik Kil Combo Tour
Explore the ancient Mayan ruins then cool off with a refreshing swim in Mexico's most famous cenote — a stunning natural sinkhole with hanging vines and crystal-clear water.
Why This Combo Is Our #1 Seller
Cenote Ik Kil is located just 3 miles from Chichen Itza, making it the perfect natural complement to your archaeological adventure. This stunning open-air cenote features dramatic 85-foot limestone walls draped with hanging vines and small waterfalls, creating one of the most photographed swimming spots in Mexico.
After spending 2-3 hours exploring the ancient ruins in the Yucatan heat, there's nothing more refreshing than descending the carved stone staircase into the cool, crystal-clear waters of Cenote Ik Kil. The cenote maintains a constant temperature of 79°F (26°C) year-round, making it perfect for swimming any time of year.
Our combo tours include everything: guided tour of Chichen Itza, cenote entrance and swimming time, traditional Yucatecan lunch, and round-trip transportation. Compare with our other cenote tours or Coba ruins combo.
Cenote Swimming Tips
Bring biodegradable sunscreen (regular sunscreen is prohibited), a waterproof camera, and water shoes for the stone steps. Life vests are provided free of charge. The cenote has changing rooms, lockers ($2), and a small café.

What Travelers Say
Increíble tour desde Mérida
"Being so close to Chichen Itza from Mérida made the day so relaxed. We arrived before the crowds and had time to really absorb the history. The guide's passion for Mayan culture was infectious. Highly recommend the Mérida departure."

Great tour, long day
"The tour itself was excellent — knowledgeable guide, delicious lunch in Valladolid, and the cenote was beautiful. Only reason for 4 stars is the 2.5-hour drive each way from Cancun. Consider staying in Valladolid if possible."

Perfect family day trip
"Traveled with our kids (8 and 11) and the guide kept them engaged with stories about Mayan ball games and astronomy. The cenote swim was their favorite part. Family-friendly pace, not rushed at all."
