I found the trip to the Cuzama cenotes to be a mixed bag, though the cenotes themselves were every bit as inviting, intriguing, and renewing as other reviewers have suggested. It probably didn't help that it was 102 degrees the day we were there, and that I had actually suffered symptoms of heat exhaustion on the way, wiped out by... More

Cuzama is about an hour drive from Merida and my friend and I arrived there around 11 a.m. We hopped on a dockey cart driven by two mayans (They said they are!) and swam in three cenotes. The trail leading to the cenotes is one-way rail and it's fun that we had to jump off times and again to yield.... More

We were a group of 6 adults on Carnival Elation. We had one very short day in Progresso. I contacted William Lawson tours to see if they could pack in a trip to Uxmal and swimming in a Cenote. They said "sure" and we met David (our tour guide) and driver right where described holding a sign with our names.... More

This was a great experience -- unlike any other you'll be able to find! The other reviews have already stated the basics and raved about the cenotes, so I'll just touch on a few potentially helpful details: - I didn't observe any mistreatment of horses. - Make sure that you drive past the first set of people with red flags...

When visiting Merida you hear about a lot of places, ruins, historical places and even some other cenotes (some of them has light and sound shows) however, what makes Cuzama different is the feeling of being in touch with something pure, the landscape, the area, even the water. You travel through 3 different Cenotes in a small train-like car, going... More

Took a bus from 2nd bus terminal who dropped us in front of a rickshaw like taxi made out of a moped... The taxi then dropped us in front of the entrance which charges you for a train cart pulled by donkeys... and they stop at each one of the 3 cenotes... My cousin didnt swim, but it was perfect....

My daughter and I drove to the cenotes with very little trouble. Make sure you don't park at the first place but continue on to the town. There were places to get snax and drinks at each cenote. This was a great adventure. Horse drawn trucks barrelling down a railroad to three cenotes. All are wonderful but the last is... More

The cenotes at cuzuma is quite a drive from the main roads and the only reasonable way to get there is to have your own car. You get to the cenotes by carts pulled by horses along an old narrow railroad.(250 pesos per cart) The three cenotes all are worth visiting but the one furthest away is by far the... More

We went to Cuzama, actually drove there in a rented car, and it was difficult to find. But by asking around we finally made it to a parking area where there are carts on a rail pulled by horses that take up to 4 persons to 3 different cenotes. I actually do not remember how much the tour trip was... More
