Discover the Summer Gems of the Cenote Route: A 5-Day Journey from El Cid Resorts

What Is the Ruta de los Cenotes

Just minutes from our resort, the Ruta de los Cenotes is a scenic road leading into the Mayan jungle, where natural treasures await. Along it, you'll find dozens of freshwater cenotes, each one unique. From open swimming holes perfect for families, to mystical caves ideal for snorkeling and diving, the cenotes offer a natural escape you won’t find anywhere else.

Stay with Us

When you stay at El Cid Resorts in Puerto Morelos, including Ventus at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort, Ventus Ha’ at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort, and Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort, you enjoy not only oceanfront elegance but also easy access to all the wonders the region has to offer.

This summer, relax in a tropical paradise surrounded by the gems of nature and the warmth of hospitality.

 

Here’s how we recommend experiencing the best of both worlds:

5-Day Itinerary: Discovering the Treasures of the Cenote Route

 

Day 1: Cenote La Noria, A Rustic Gem in the Jungle + Oceanview Dinner at La Marina

Start your journey at Cenote La Noria, a semi-covered cenote known for its crystal-clear waters, stalactites, and peaceful atmosphere. Ideal for swimming or simply floating in silence.
Back at the resort, enjoy a sunset dinner at La Marina Restaurant, one of our culinary treasures, with fresh seafood.

Day 2: Siete Bocas + Spa Serenity at Ventus Ha’

This partially underground cenote offers a truly magical swimming experience as light beams down through seven natural openings. In the afternoon, unwind at El Cocay Spa, where our traditional treatments inspired by Mayan wellness will leave you feeling renewed. Finish your evening at KOBO, our teppanyaki-style experience at Ventus Ha’ at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort.

Day 3: Cenote Zapote — Jurassic Depths and Sky-High Thrills

Explore one of the most unique cenotes on the route: Cenote Zapote. Its deep, cylindrical shape and fossil formations give it the nickname “Hell's Bells.” Adrenaline junkies will love the 26-meter-high zipline jump tower.

To end the day, enjoy a cocktail at the Infinity Pool of Zanza at Ventus, then dine at our elegant restaurant Ilé de France, one of our gastronomic treasures.

Day 4: Verde Lucero + Poolside Relaxation at Ventus

Cenote Verde Lucero is a peaceful escape, surrounded by jungle and filled with emerald green water. After a morning of exploring, spend your afternoon at our infinity pool, enjoy poolside service, or sip a cocktail in the sun. Later, savor the contemporary flavors of A’AKAT, our signature restaurant at Ventus Ha’ at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort.

Day 5: Cenote Kin Ha — The Perfect Ending

Conclude your journey with Cenote Kin Ha, a deep underground cenote with crystal-clear water and a dramatic staircase descending into a dome-shaped cavern. It’s the crown jewel of your adventure.

End your stay with a relaxing morning at the beach and a farewell breakfast buffet at Alhambra in Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort.
