Cenote Sagrado
From the tzompantli, a 300m rough stone road runs north (a five-minute walk) to the huge sunken well that gave this city its name. The Sacred Cenote is an awesome natural well, some 60m in diameter and 35m deep. The walls between the summit and the water's surface are ensnared in tangled vines and other vegetation. There are ruins of a small steam bath next to the cenote, as well as a modern drinks stand with toilets.

Ik Kil Parque Ecoarqueológico
A little over 3km southeast of the eastern entrance to the ruins is Ik Kil Parque Ecoarqueológico, whose cenote has been developed into a divine swimming spot. Small cascades of water plunge from the high limestone roof, which is ringed by greenery. It has a good buffet and nice cabañas onsite. Get your swim in by no later than 1pm to beat the tour groups.
