Escaping the heat at El Chorchito

Another hot day here on the Yucatan - low 90s. To get away from it all we decided to check out a hidden little gem called El Chorchito. We took the bus from Merida to Progreso $2. RT then another $2. for the cab to this hidden treasure. Once there we took a short boat ride to the sanctuary.

               Upon arrival Pepe gave a a little bit of a tour and a handful of animal crackers for the critters                        

                                                    Coatimundis

Once the critters were fed we got right to biz and jumped into one of the fresh water natural cenotes. Cool and refreshing

 There's 4 of these crystal clear cenotes on the property

After school activity for Mexican children. Not a bad way to grow up.
After freshening up we went to Progreso for shrimp and ritas. Then back to Merida. It was a good day.
