Cenote Oxmán is actually one of the coolest cenotes of all. It’s really beautiful and very interactive. When I was on my way to Cenote Oxmán, I had just come from Cenote Suytun and was accordingly sweaty, exhausted and at the end of my strengths (the journey on the long dusty road in the middle of heat if anyone remembers). Cenote Oxmán, on the other hand, can be reached via an equally dusty path, but it leads through and over a bit of greenery and the area is not quite as deserted as the one at Cenote Suytun. And I think what also played a part here was that it was in the afternoon and therefore not quite as unbearably hot as on the way to Cenote Suytun.
The reason why Cenote Oxmán is one of my favourite cenotes is quite simple: you can jump over the water from the edge with a rope like Tarzan and then let yourself fall. Awesome, isn’t it? There are also life jackets for visitors on the edge and Cenote Oxmán is generally much busier than Suytun. When I arrived and walked into the cenote, there was still a large group splashing around in the cenote. I waited a short while, had a proper drink and then a nice Mexican offered to take photos of me jumping in. He probably saw me taking a photo of the cenote and thought to himself ‘That kid will probably want a photo with herself in it too’. Well, that’s how I got my Jane pictures of me swinging into the water on a liana and then getting the refreshment I’d been waiting for the whole time. It was AWESOME!!!Seriously just awesome. And right at that moment I asked myself why I hadn’t already jumped into the pool in Suytun 😀 Well, you never stop learning… 😀 😀
Should you go? Definitely! You can also plan a whole day here. Especially with a group, you’ll never get tired of taking turns swinging into the water on the liana and there’s plenty of space to store your things, chill out and eat something.
Highly recommended! 😀
