The journey to Cuzama's cenotes is as distinctive as the swimming itself. Visitors ride in small open carts — locally called "trucks" — pulled by horse or mule along narrow rail tracks that were originally laid to haul harvested henequen fiber from the fields to the processing haciendas during the region's agave-fiber boom. Those same tracks have since been repurposed, the old mining-style carts converted to carry up to around four passengers at a time, making the slow, clattering ride out to each cenote as much a piece of regional history as it is a way to get there.
The three cenotes themselves — Chelentún, Chansinic'Hé, and Bolonchoojol — are real, named sinkholes, and each has its own character: some open more to daylight, others sit deeper underground beneath hanging stalactites and arching cave ceilings, with clear, cool water throughout. Rather than committing to a single formation, this tour lets you compare all three in one day, swimming or floating in each and seeing firsthand how differently the same underlying limestone landscape can collapse and reveal itself.
The same henequen-era economy that built these rail lines also built the haciendas that depended on debt-bound Maya labor across the Yucatán — a harder history worth keeping in mind alongside the novelty of the horse-cart ride. Lunch at a local restaurant and round-trip transportation from your Merida accommodation are included for the day.
