Follow the jungle trail to blue water lit from above, then discover a cavern hidden beneath your feet. San Gerónimo is a place we look forward to sharing with you.
We’ve put thought, care and imagination into the experiences we offer here. You might come for a morning exploring the cenotes, or stay for a full day with a traditional Yucatecan meal. Along the way, there are details we’ll help you plan and surprises we’ll save for your arrival.

Los 7 Cenotes takes its name from the land and the cenotes that shape it. Today’s experience brings you into two of its most remarkable environments: the open, crystalline waters of Mariposa Azul and the hidden underground world of El Inframundo. Together, they reveal two completely different sides of the reserve.
Visits go ahead in sunshine, cloudy weather and light rain, with activities adapted as needed. Activities are suspended for hurricane or cyclone alerts in Sotuta and during electrical storms.
Water colour and clarity change with the seasons. Cenotes may be darker or cloudier during the rainy season, especially after tropical storms or hurricanes. Mosquitoes and horseflies are part of the natural setting.
We accept bank transfers and PayPal. Before your visit, complete a questionnaire for every guest so we can prepare the experience. Make sure all group information is accurate.
No. Visits must be reserved in advance because the experience is prepared before your group arrives. The property is not open as a general public swimming attraction.
