Aktun-Chen

Fodor's Review:

Aktun-Chen is Mayan for "the cave with cenote inside." These amazing underground caves, estimated to be about 5 million years old, are the area's largest. You walk through the underground passages, past stalactites and stalagmites, until you reach the cenote with its various shades of deep green. You don't want to miss this one.
