Cenote Dzitnup
A bit more enticing but less accessible is Cenote Dzitnup. It’s artificially lit and very swimmable, and a massive limestone formation dripping with stalactites hangs from its ceiling.

Mercado Municipal
This is a good, authentic Mexican market where locals come to shop for cheap clothing, homewares, meat, produce and what-have-you, and to eat at inexpensive taquerías. The east side is the most colorful, with flowers and stacks of fruit and vegetables on offer. Most of the activity takes place between 06:00 and 14:00.

Hostería del Marqués
Probably the best restaurant in town for lunch and dinner, it is in Hotel El Mesón del Marqués. You can dine in the tranquil colonial courtyard with its bubbling fountain or the air-con salon looking onto it. The restaurant also offers some vegetarian choices and steaks priced by weight.

Cenote Zací
Among the region's several underground cenotes is Cenote Zací, set in a park that also holds traditional stone-walled thatched houses and a small zoo. People swim in Zací, though being mostly open it has some dust and algae. Enter from Calle 39.
