Frequently Asked Questions
Is cash or card accepted at cenotes?
Most cenotes accept cash only at the gate, in Mexican pesos. Some larger commercial cenotes like Ik Kil and Hubiku accept cards. Bring small bills for entry, locker rental and life jacket. ATMs are scarce near the cenotes themselves so withdraw cash in Tulum, Playa del Carmen or Valladolid before you go.
