Cenote Hubiku is located in the village of Temozón very close to the city of Valladolid and the Archaeological Zone of Chichen Itza.
Its main attraction is the young cenote that is underground and that on its roof has a hole through which a large tree once introduced its roots to reach its fresh waters.
Its emerald waters invite you immediately to cool off in them; the depth it has is 27 meters and the opening in the center of it allows the sun’s rays to enter, creating a visual spectacle worth admiring.
To know this eye of water you will have to go down 115 stone steps, and from the first moment it will leave you impacted and you will be able to appreciate its beauty from any position you find.
