Yaxbacaltún
Semi-open cenote and eco-tourism stop in Homún on the Ring of Cenotes, reached by a long staircase; rappelling is also offered. The operator's listing invites certified divers on guided tours through caves and caverns hidden in the depths of the cenote, with specialised guides for divers who bring their own gear.
Facts

- Area: Homún – Cuzamá
- Level: intermediate
- Current: low
- Type: cave
- Coordinates: 20.73913, -89.28503 (approximate)
- Highlights: semi-open cenote with long staircase, caves and caverns below the pool, rappel offered
- Unverified: Diving is only stated in the site's own listing on an activity aggregator (Yumping); no depth, cave layout or dive-centre trip report was found. The map pin marks the centre of Homún town, not the cenote entrance itself.
- Tips: Guided cavern dives (daylight zone, permanent guideline, max ~21 m and 60 m from the surface per Mérida operators' rules, max 4 divers per full-cave-certified guide) are open to certified Open Water divers; many operators ask for AOW and 15+ logged dives. Anything beyond the daylight zone is full cave and requires cave certification. Arrange with the parador in advance; fees not published – check current.
