Los 7 Cenotes San Gerónimo tour: 2 cenotes with bike & guide

Ride into the cenotes, swim in two different worlds

A guided tour of Los 7 Cenotes San Gerónimo near Mérida where you bike through jungle to visit a semi-open cenote and a cave cenote, with a professional Spanish and English-speaking guide. The Connection Experience includes a traditional three-course Yucatecan lunch. The Adventure Experience does not. Both options come with bicycle use, helmet, basic tourist insurance, and run about 4 hours. A minimum of 3 people per booking is required, and the tour suits travelers aged 8 to 65 in moderate physical condition.

The experience

The tour starts at the church of San Pedro y San Pablo in Sotuta, about 10 minutes from the cenotes. Once you arrive, the guide walks you through the site's common areas and explains what the day will hold, including a look at the ecological toilets and where to store your things. Then you bike 1.2 kilometers through the local flora and fauna to reach the first cenote: a semi-open pool where light filters through the rock above. On the way back, the guide prepares you for the second stop: a cave-type cenote called Virgin, where you swim inside a cavern and experience the cenote in a completely different way.

The Connection Experience includes a traditional Yucatecan lunch with a starter, main course, dessert and non-alcoholic drinks. The Adventure Experience does not. Both options come with the bike, helmet, guide in Spanish and English, and basic tourist insurance that covers medical expenses. The tour is open to small groups, so you'll share the experience with other travelers.

Is this one for you?Choose the Connection Experience if you want lunch included and a fuller day immersed in the cenotes. Pick the Adventure Experience if you prefer a shorter commitment or plan to eat separately. Either way, the bike ride through the jungle is what connects the two cenotes and lets you see how different they are from each other.

What's the difference between the two cenotes on this tour?

The first cenote is semi-open, meaning you swim under a partly open sky with rock walls around you. The second, called Virgin, is a cave cenote where you enter a cavern to swim, creating a completely enclosed, more dramatic setting.

How much biking is involved?

You bike about 1.2 kilometers through the jungle to reach the first cenote, then return to the main area. The biking is part of how you move between the cenotes and the common areas, not a separate activity.

What happens if I book alone or with just one other person?

A minimum of 3 people per booking is required for this tour. If you have fewer than 3 people, you'll need to contact the operator after booking to arrange details.
