August 2024. We had rented a car to explore the area and on Friday i took my nephew and step-daughter to visit Uxmal (magical as always) and rhe chocolatte museum across the road from Uxmal (better than i expected). Afterwards, instead of heading home to Merida, the car was begging for a visit to another cent. We looked on Google maps and found there were several around. We filtered out a few that seemed too touristy or specialized for scuba. We decided to head to small place called Cenote Peba.
The dirt road led to an ample parking lot. Down a small path under a shaded cover sat two men at a table collecting the entrance fee. My ability to communicate in spanish is still in development stage but i think the conversation went something like this:
Translated
Me: Hello. How are you? How much does it cost?
Them: 100 pesos per person
Me: Can we have a look first?
Them: Yes, 100 pesos per person
Me: But can we look first then decide if we want to pay?
Them: 100 pesos per person
We paid the entry and walked a longer path towards the facilitiues. It was no thrills but had everything necessary including a small cafe, chaning rooms, bathrooms, and optional life vests.
The cenote was wonderfull and we spent a couple of hours splashing around. It wasn’t very crowded and for alot of the time we were the only people there.
Here’s a video
