Get ready to visit cenotes for sale

Get ready to search for your cenote and make the most of your visit

Valladolid Yucatán continues to rise as an important tourist spot in the Yucatán peninsula. Recent investments in parks and hotels make it even more attractive to those looking for opportunities to invest their money.

Many of those potential investors are looking for cenotes for sale. Although there are also those who want a cenote to preserve it and enjoy it privately with their family. Whatever your case is, if you are looking for cenotes for sale near Valladolid, we will tell you how to prepare for a day of adventure and exploration.

Because, first of all you should know that, although there are cenotes for sale very close to Valladolid and cenotes with easy access, these are not the norm. The cenotes available are usually in somewhat remote areas, which are reached by dirt roads and sometimes you are only able to reach the place by foot. Depending on the difficulty of access, sometimes I prepare my clients by telling them that it is going to be an Indiana Jones-type adventure (although these are the least).

So, considering what we explained above…

Plan your visit

Considering the location of the properties and the travel time to get to the cenotes, chances are you will only have time to visit two cenotes in one day, maybe three if we really hurry up.

For this reason, it is recommended to contact your real estate agent in advance and share with her all your plans. In this way we can advise you and suggest the best options according to your project.

Another point to consider is that the best time to appreciate a cenote is between 11 am and 1.30 pm, when the sun is at a high point and illuminates the water, allowing you to appreciate its color, the depth of the cenote and other details of the place. This is especially important in the case of closed cave-type cenotes. Normally they have one or more mouths on the roof that allow the sun’s rays to enter, but you can only appreciate the effects of light in the water if you arrive at the right time.

So, even if you can see more than two cenotes in the day, you will not be able to arrive at the ideal time to appreciate them. And if you don’t see him at his best … How are you going to fall in love with it?

Considering this, plan your visit in advance. Contact us to advise you, choose the properties you want to know in advance and organize your visit in the best possible way.

We all want a cenote with easy access, near Valladolid and at an affordable price… Unfortunately that does not exist.

The cenotes are very sought-after properties and it shows in their price. In part it is due to their attractiveness and potential, but also a cenote requires a lot of time and work to make it beautiful. If the owner has already made improvements, these will be reflected in the price.

When looking for cenotes, it is important that you consider what each property offers you.

For example, on our website you will find cenotes for sale that are ejido land, others that are unexplored, and also cenotes that already have an access to enter the water.

The most economical cenotes are the ones in ejido land, but not all clients are comfortable with this idea, and also it’s not an option for foreigner buyers. 

An unexplored cenote can also be cheap, but you cannot know for sure the size, depth, and quality of the cenote you’re buying. And of course, at the end you will have to invest in making a ladder, getting workers, cleaning the access, among other details, and all this adds up pretty quickly!

So having a clear purpose for your cenote will help you consider if you want to save on the purchasing price, or pay more than you wanted but see it as an advantage and as a faster way to achieve your goal.

Going to explore a cenote is not the same as going to a cenote.

There are no walkways, dressing rooms, or places to store your things.

When we see our clients arriving at the meeting point wearing shorts and flip-flops, we suffer in advance thinking about how their experience will be, walking through the jungle, sometimes on very rocky land.

And the thing is that, even if the Yucatan weather calls for cooler clothing and you want to be comfortable, it is advisable to wear long pants, socks and closed sturdy shoes.

A long-sleeved shirt is optional, although you can also use sunscreen and mosquito repellent for added protection.

The idea is that you can walk through the jungle without the fear of being bitten by an insect, or that plants with thorns or poison ivy will hurt you.

And of course, if the cenote you are going to see has an access to enter the water, definitely bring a swimsuit so you can swim in it and see it from the inside!

Also put in your bag a hat or cap, a towel, a bottle of water and a snack for when you get hungry. Fruits and nuts are good options to recover after a long walk.

## Choose your company carefully

Whether you are looking for a cenote as an investment or to enjoy it with your family, choose carefully who will come with you to explore the options. Preferably bring someone who really has decision-making powers and who is enthusiastic about the idea of ​​walking in nature.

For example, even if you are looking for an option for your family, it is not advisable to bring young children to your appointment. Children can get hungry, get bored, they can’t walk as fast, and being attentive to their needs can distract you from the goal. Not to mention the effect that the sun and humidity that usually you have to endure when walking through the jungle can have on them.

The same applies to adults who don’t have the physical condition for these expeditions, or who simply do not enjoy being in nature.

If your search for a cenote is serious, then give it the importance and attention it deserves. Avoiding distractions will give you the time to get to know the property in detail and allow you to be attentive to the information your agent shares with you.

## Enjoy it!

Going to see cenotes in their natural state is something that very few people can do.

As part of our work we have swam in huge cenotes, in mysterious ones, and in several whose beauty is shocking. We always come out from these experiences with a smile on our face.

If you are embarking on that adventure, enjoy it! Get ready to get wet, get a little hungry, feel tired or very hot, but also to enjoy a cenote almost all to yourself.

In summary:

• Don’t forget your swimsuit.
• If there is access to the cenote, go swimming!
• Wear appropriate clothes and shoes
• Ask all the questions you have
• Don’t be afraid to explore! **One last thing…**

Buying a cenote is an important decision.

These natural formations have a delicate balance with their surroundings.

It is always a good idea consulting with experts about the modifications you can make, since altering them drastically can be detrimental to their beauty and to your investment.

A cenote is not a pool that always looks flawless. The color and quality of the water varies depending on the time of year, the rains (or lack of), whether it is a cavern or open cenote, and so on.

There are things that you can do to keep it in good condition, but if you have the idea that it is always going to be perfect, we must warn you that this is not the case.
