The Breathtaking Beauty of Cenote Multun-ha

My guide walked toward the cenote, but I couldn’t see any cavern entrance or surface water. Confused my paced slowed even with the sudden rainfall and darker skies. She started to descend. Stairs? A spiral staircase descended below the surface and I followed her into the earth. After 20-30 steps and still no sight of […]

The Cenote Swim at Hacienda Tres Rios

I took off my life-preserver device and decided to dive. A deep breath and I left the surface to swim towards the bottom.

The shuttle van turned off the highway and stopped at the gate to enter Hacienda Tres Rios. We arrived. The private path to the main hotel entrance might be considered a touch more “natural” than others, but when you arrive at the main reception area, no doubt exists. You booked a luxury resort.
