Cenotes El Zacaton and Poza Verde

The world’s deepest water-filled sinkhole has been the site of infamous dives and NASA research, with a stunning and safe lake to swim in nearby.

About

Witness the alluring natural wonder that is Zacatón, a thermal water-filled sinkhole that reaches an astonishing depth of 339 meters. With its free-floating islands of zacate grass that gracefully glide across its surface, and its fascinating history, Zacatón’s significance extends beyond its depth. Daring divers, including renowned cave explorers, have ventured into its depths, while NASA has utilized the sinkhole as a testing ground for robotic technology intended for exploration missions on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. Within the sinkhole, endemic microorganisms and peculiar floating islands contribute to its otherworldly allure. The whole region is an extraordinary testament to geologic processes, and while you cannot enter Zacatón, you can take a dip in the nearby Cenote Poza Verde. This magnificent water-filled vertical shaft within the surrounding cave system is a remarkable tourist destination, where you can marvel at its grandeur while being in close proximity to the renowned Zacatón sinkhole.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
