To freshen up after visiting Uxmal, nothing better than to immerse ourselves in the crystal clear and calm waters of one of the 7,000 cenotes that are estimated to exist in the Yucatán peninsula, the Kankirixché cenote in Abalá, where we can also admire stalactites, stalagmites and columns. that have taken a long time to form.
