Discover the Enchanting Cenotes de Candelaria

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, head towards Nentón, which is in the Western Highlands. From the center of Nentón, navigate to the coordinates W6Q5+VQ9 using your GPS. The cenotes are located a short distance from the town, so prepare for a brief drive through local roads. The route is relatively straightforward, but be cautious of local traffic and road conditions. There is no entrance fee for the cenotes, but you might want to budget for food or refreshments in town.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Cenotes de Candelaria via public transportation, start by taking a local bus from nearby towns (like San Marcos or Coatepeque) heading to Nentón. The buses are frequent and relatively inexpensive, costing around 10-30 quetzals. Once in Nentón, ask locals for directions to the cenotes, as they are a popular local attraction. You might need to walk or take a tuk-tuk (which can cost around 20 quetzals) from the bus stop to the cenotes.

• Tuk-Tuk

  If you find yourself in Nentón, consider taking a tuk-tuk directly to the cenotes. Tuk-tuks are readily available and are a fun way to navigate the area. Negotiate the fare beforehand, which should be around 20-30 quetzals for a one-way trip. This is a convenient option if you have luggage or wish to save time.
