Cenotes de Miguel Colorado

Miguel Colorado is a town well known for the giant cenote of the same name some 30 minutes to the north of the Escárcega station of the Tren Maya in Campeche. Los Reyecitos is the name of the cooperative which runs the small hotel and organizes tours to the cenote, and to points all over the seemingly magical and enchanted surrounding country side. Ukuchil Jeele, their name in the local Yucatec Maya language, are widely recognized for the responsible approach they've taken to welcoming guests and presenting Miguel Colorado over the past 20 years. 

Guests are accompanied to the Miguel Colorado Cenotes (yes, there are more than one). Visitors get a quick lesson in how to best hike, bird watch, kayak, and swim through the surrounding jungle. Lunches are often prepared over an open fire outside the Los Reyecitos cabins on a visitor complex that includes all kinds of extras. Afternoons can include a chocolate workshop after harvesting your own cacao beans, roasting them, and getting them ground down and cooked to nearly the consistency you might imagine. 

Sunsets are celebrated, not just by people, but by the incredible populations of bats that keep the mosquito populations under control. The spectacle is jaw dropping. Stargazing and studying the night sky is just a clue that this is Maya country and the cycles of the universe are still playing out.

Morning hikes include bird watching tours on a secluded trails and breakfasts, soon after, are nothing if not traditional. It's a fantastic place to find yourself. 

Miguel Colorado is one of the most popular destinations for those getting off the Tren Maya at Escárcega. The next station, Carillo Puerto - Champotón is about an hour to the north of the town, and roughly 45 minutes north of the famous cenotes.
