After the dive, we will drive 10 min from there to cenote Takbilum The Hidden Kingdom, where we will dive at 7 meters for 40 to 50 min through the incredible tunnels with weird formations and magic that let us see through the literally “Door” of the Xibalba. Simply demanding, for divers who have already practiced cavern diving and have good buoyancy control.
Cenote Takbilum
One of the most closely guarded cenotes in the area. Ideal for those divers who have already dived several cenotes in the area and feel comfortable in the dark, as we will cross a huge partially flooded and totally dark vault that will make us think that we are moving away from the limits of the cavern; formations like nowhere else, which will allow us to literally cross the door of Xibalba. This cenote, although it is very close to the Sac actun System, does not belong to any cave system, in an isolated and independent system, an oasis in a desert that you cannot miss.
