Chicxulub Puerto rests almost precisely at the heart of the Chicxulub crater. This crater marks the spot where a cataclysmic asteroid struck Earth many years ago, triggering the extinction event that wiped out most dinosaurs. This impact created thousands of cenotes and caves. There are many nearby cenotes that are perfect for swimming; some contain fish, stalactites, birds and bats. Bring your snorkeling or diving gear for an adventure that you will not want to miss! Fees vary per cenote but are very affordable; most provide life-jackets. As of today, many cenotes and ruins are still being discovered!

Surround yourself with Mayan history such as pyramids, salt flats and traditional cuisine. Explore rich ecosystems that host many species, including flamingos and many shore birds.
