Beautiful and serene at 8am

This was a beautiful site to see. It was recommended by a concierge and he said MAKE SURE you arrive by 7:45am when they open. Great recommendation as there were only us and 4 other people already there. We had the whole cenote to ourselves which made for amazing pictures with no one in the background. But bats...swooping bats everywhere, I wasn't ready for that aspect. One sh*t right in my eye as a welcome present, good times. Also bring a flashlight if you plan on snorkeling deeper into the pitch black caves...that was a huge nope for me, After an hour we were ready to leave, just as all the tour busses started pulling in...go at 8am and the place is yours. I ended up leaving my ID by accident and had to return later. I saw the amount of people at that time and we would've turned around and walked back out, totally not worth it with that many other people. The peacefulness and the entire beauty of going to a cenote would be replaced by screaming splashing camera happy tourists. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches
