Discover the Hidden Magic of Cenote Chikin Ha
Just 10 km south of Puerto Aventuras, Cenote Chikin Ha features two independent dive lines connected by the spectacular Cenote Rainbow. The limestone passages and beams of light piercing the crystal-clear water create a surreal landscape worthy of the finest caverns in the Yucatán Peninsula.
Route 1 – West Line (Surface Exit at Rainbow)
Begin with a descent to 14 m (46 ft) and proceed through a spacious tunnel lined with columns and stalactites. The route ends in a bubbling air chamber within Cenote Rainbow, where you can remove your regulator, enjoy the jungle-like silence, and admire the roots hanging above the water’s surface before returning.
Route 2 – East Line (Light and Shadow Circuit)
Ideal for photography enthusiasts: the natural light entry creates beams that contrast beautifully with the system’s deep blue.
Explore passages adorned with millennia-old formations until you reconnect with Rainbow and return to the starting point.
