    Small reserve, but worth visiting. We saw wild animals such as raccoons, turtles, fish, birds, etc., It was a short boat ride to the reserve (boat ride included in admission). The entrance cost is 120 pesos. They have a credit card sign, but somehow it was not working this morning. The opening hour is 9am. They started admitting tourists at 9:15. No bags are allowed. We left our belongings in the car. So if you plan to swim, it's better to wear your swimwear. There are lots of bugs. Please wear mosquito repellent before arrival. There are three beautiful cenotes for swimming.

    If you're interested in seeing cenotes, you can pass on this spot. The entrance fee of 90 pesos plus 35 pesos for a locker is not worth the three basic pools. However, if you're interested in seeing cute racoons, this place is totally worth it! They seem to be wild so stick around if you don't see them straight away, they'll pop out of the woods at some point.

    This place was beautiful and the cenotes were awesome. I loved seeing the raccoons both grey and red, plus the turtles and all the critters. The cenotes were well cared for and I felt comfortable wading in them. They let us feed the raccoons and that was really cool, and we saw a baby mini crocodile on the boat right back. This place is a must visit if you are ever in Progress.

    It's a really amazing experience!! You arrived to El Corchito on a boat, is a tiny place but the water of the cenotes are very clear. The raccoons are so cute! But please don't touch them 😊

    Great place to go early in the morning if you want to get the “cenote experience.” In one small cenote (see pictures) little fish will nibble the detritus off of your feet for a free “fish pedicure.” Or take a fresh spring water swim! Wildlife abounds thanks to this fresh water / nature reserve oasis by the sea in Progresso. You will take a short ferry ride across the river to the cenotes. Fantastic place to see nature at its best!

    That's a cool little place. No alcohol, gum or food allowed but water bottle are allowed. 120 pesos per adult. 60 pesos for Mexican residents and citizens. The boat takes you to the mangrove where there 3 cenotes that you can swim in. There are changing rooms and washrooms by the cenotes. Water is warm. You can also walk-around and enjoy the wildlife with raccoons, coaties, birds and fish.

    Fun place, definitely take the boat ride across the river into the mangrove. There are a few cenotes to swim in, and lots and lots of cute little coati and raccoons just roaming around. It was a really neat experience.

    Cute place but during weekends is crowded. The cenotes are small and get full and loud quickly. The racoon are really cute and not afraid at all. A really quick boat ride will bring you to the reserve. Sunscreen is forbidden as well as bringing food.

  • 5/5 Javier P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In Corchito I was able to make the tour of the mangrove in a boat with only 10 occupants to keep distance due to the pandemic. The cenote section was closed because the water had overflowed due to so many rains; It is a pity not to have been able to do the complete tour, but the walk is worth it, the driver of the boat, very trained, gave a very interesting talk about the place. It is a place of passage to Puerto Progreso that is interesting to visit, the boat is safe and the tour is done with life jackets. (Original) En el Corchito pude hacer el recorrido por el manglar en una lancha de sólo 10 ocupantes para guardar distancia por la pandemia, la sección de cenotes estuvo cerrada por haberse desbordado el agua a causa de tantas lluvias; es una lástima no haber podido hacer el recorrido completo, pero el paseo vale la pena, el conductor de la lancha muy capacitado, hizo una plática del lugar muy interesante. Es un lugar de paso a Puerto Progreso que resulta interesante visitar, la embarcación es segura y el recorrido se hace con chalecos salvavidas.

    Beautiful location, very quite and filled with local wildlife. Not very much to do other than take a brisk swim in the cenotes and take a short walk. Be weary though, the water is VERY cold and at least 5 1/2 feet deep.

    Nice place to take a swim among nature. There are no true cenotes, just pools of water to swim, but the surroundings are beautiful, lots of flora and fauna. Lots of birds, turtles, fish and apparently crocodiles.

    Loved every moment. Easy to navigate, you don't need a guide. Everyone spoke enough. English to get by the animals were cool. I'm 5 foot 9 inches. I could stand in all the cenotes. If you are not the best swimmer yet still want to experience. Cenotes, this is the place for you.

    Great place to go, get there early to get the cenotes nice and clean, very inexpensive, the raboons are cool, mosquitoes run wild, merch is cheap, plan on spending one to two hours max depending on how long you swim. With so many things to do around we probably won’t go back. Worth the trip though.

  • 4/5 Jason R. 3 months ago on Google • 78 reviews New
    Small place, worth a short time to see the racoons and a quick swim in the "cenote" they also have a place to put your feet where the small fish eat the dead skin of your feet and toes too

  • 5/5 Goodykos 2 months ago on Google • 58 reviews New
    Absolutely loved this park. Our tour guide helped us go though this beautiful park and we got to swim in the Cenotes. They are crystal clear waters with beautiful fish and warm. The raccoons were fun and friendly. We would love to come there again.

  • 4/5 Jaime S. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Great afternoon trip to local centers. The raccoons are a rambunctious lot but very harmless. Good atmosphere and the locals visiting the site are very friendly. Sat in a pool where the garra Ruffalo fish nimble at the dead skin on your feet. Can't believe people pay top dollar for this treatment. It was all included. Highly recommend a 1-2hr visit. Heads up, don't expect the typical overseas tourist treatment.

  • 5/5 Nino F. 4 years ago on Google
    Unbelievable place! The park has 3 cenotes with animals running around. Love this place.

  • 5/5 Rene A. 4 years ago on Google
    The closest cenote from Merida located at only 40 minutes from the city direction to Progreso. You will cross in 2 minutes the channel to arrive into the 3 cenotes which in reality are Ojos de Agua. The path it is quite rustical but You can decide on which one You prefer to refresh. We took the last one which it is the biggest and deepest of all of them. So cannot get really full with people. As always try to be there early in the morning before the tour operators arrive. If you get hungry afterwards you can drive to Progreso port located at less than 5 minute from there and find you a good seafood restaurant there.

  • 1/5 Barry J. 4 years ago on Google
    Web page states they are open when if fact the place was closed due to a flooding problem that has been going on for over a week. If the place is closed then tell people it is closed and not waist visitors time and money just to be turned away at the gate.

    (Translated by Google) The place is beautiful, but the prices are somewhat high for what it is, since you cannot bring food and since you have a time limit to swim without starvation, it is a very quiet and small place, so you can get there to fill very quickly.

    Pretty government-run reserve where you can swim in natural pools. You take a short boat trip over to a mangrove "island" where there are walkways between different swimming spots. You can rent floaty toys for the kids, and it's pretty fun. But a word to the wise: you are prohibited from bringing any food or drink with you and there is nothing for sale inside, so make sure you eat before going and plan to go between mealtimes. "Wildlife" is mostly coatimundis and raccoons who go through your bags when you aren't looking...

  • 3/5 Aleksandra M. 4 years ago on Google
    The big swim hole, Pajaro, is closed for many months. Only one is now available and it is not clear. Very murky. But the coatimundis are still nice to watch.

  • 5/5 Mae C. 5 years ago on Google
    There was not a lot to see. Mainly Lemurs and Raccoons comes close proximity to humans. There are a few cenotes that you can swim and dip in and there's a few fish and turtles around. I was expecting flamingos because of other reviews but didn't see one at all.

    There is a small stretch is water to cross and you get to this island that has a whole bunch of sinkholes. There’s even a pedicure sinkhole that you put your feet in and little fish pick at your dead skin. Then there are the animals (which you cannot by any circumstances, feed) they roam around and make the place enjoyable. Overall great trip.

  • 5/5 denis e. 7 years ago on Google
    It's a cenote. Very cool. Water is great to swim in . There are 4 to choose from. Lemurs and raccoons are everywhere looking to steal a meal. So if you bring a lunch, pack it well.

    (Translated by Google) I like it, it could be a little more careful, it has from where. Still in that stadium it is a very nice show. It has two cenotes, I personally didn't like them that much, I've seen much better ones in Merida. Some salvageable roads, and there are raccoons, we touched very few (they say there are many) but with the show that we saw, it was more than gratifying. See it you will like it. I also recommend that you ask, (because nobody tells you) about the bats there are. Impressive. Well worth going. (Original) Me gusto, podría estar un poco más cuidada, tiene de donde . Aún así en ese estadio es un espectáculo muy bonito. Tiene dos cenotes, personalmente no me gustaron tanto, he visto mucho mejores en Mérida. Algunos caminos rescatables, y hay mapaches, nos tocaron muy pocos ( dicen que hay muchos) pero con el espectáculo que nos proporcionó el que vimos fue más que gratificante. Véanlo les va a gustar. También les recomiendo que pregunten, (porque nadie te dice ) por los murciélagos que hay. Impresionantes. Bueno vale la pena ir.

    (Translated by Google) Very bad experience. The journey is very short, the channels have a powerful smell of rot and the two cenotes that it has look like they were made of mud or silt, so you do not want to go swimming. The raccoons were conspicuous by their absence: we didn't see any, just three or four coatis and a couple of herons. The truth was a total disappointment. (Original) Muy mala experiencia. El trayecto es muy corto, los canales tienen un potente olor a podredumbre y los dos cenotes que tiene lucen como si fueran de fango o cieno, así que no ganas de entrar a nadar. Los mapaches brillaron por su ausencia: no vimos ninguno, solo tres o cuatro coatíes y un par de garzas. La verdad fue una decepción total.

    (Translated by Google) The cenotes are artificial, they cross you by boat and then you walk among the pools of water. They do not allow you to walk through the mangrove swamps, basically open air "natural" pools. $ 45 pesos for entry to Mexicans, you can not introduce backpacks, bags or food. (Original) Los cenotes son artificiales, te cruzan en lancha y luego caminas entre las pozas de agua.

    Three separate cenotes - one meter deep, 2.5 meter and very deep. Water temperature very comfortable. Just cold enough to refresh but not too cold so that your teeth chatter after 5 minutes. They have life jacket rentals for non swimmers (like me)

  • 1/5 Kájuša K. 2 years ago on Google
    Not more! Tourist trap! you need to pay entrance fee 95 pesos, then you get a boat ride to park. There you need to pay 30 pesos for a storage of your stuff. Its mandatory. Cenotes are very dirty, its terrible. Almost nobody was swimming there.

  • 5/5 Ryan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very tranquil and gorgeous place… there 3 Cenotes to either put your feet in, or swim in. The water is not very deep and is relatively warm. Enjoy the swim with some cool tiger fish of many sizes and shapes. There are life jackets available for your young ones or hydrophobic ones. This place is a relatively small, but the area is amazing and beautiful. Highly recommend, take a water and some snacks! Be sure to wear your big spray… very natural and beautiful place to enjoy!

  • 5/5 Bernhard W. 1 year ago on Google
    If you love racoons, and who doesn't, this is definitely worth a visit. You can also swim in the cenotes! Nice place for a day trip when you are in the area!

  • 5/5 Aydee L. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful, natural above ground cenotes. Didn’t see any spider monkeys but got to feed the raccoons. Recommend of in the area.

  • 4/5 Kyle P. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was really cool. I would give it 5 stars, but one of the cenotes smelled TERRIBLE. There is supposed to be 5 cenotes, 2 were closed and one smelled bad. Staff was super friendly. Lots of wildlife. Just beware, you can't take any food with you, you can't take any sunscreen, you can't play music. They will search your bags prior to crossing the river and take anything bot allowed. The cenotes were ok, I've been to others in mexico that was crystal clear and clean, these weren't clear at all and they weren't that clean either (they weren't dirty or nasty, just no upkeep or anything it seems). We didn't buy tickets in advance or anything. Just showed up. Was no line. Was extremely inexpensive. I think we paid like 7 usd for 2 of us.

  • 5/5 Edward O. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice ecological location with 3 cenotes and Coatimundis and Raccoons running around. The cenotes very in depth but are all cold! 😂 If you have mobility issues you probably will have great difficulty getting in and out using the wooden ladders. A nice place to spend an afternoon.

  • 5/5 Joseph M. 1 year ago on Google
    A pretty park. All the water was very clear. Lots of coons and other similar critters running around right up to you. Are man made ponds cenotes? That’s more what these looked like complete with little streams of water running to them. All 3 or 4 feet deep with gravel bottoms. The biggest about 50 feet in circumference and the smaller about 20 feet. Just sayin. Regardless it’s still a nice little park.

  • 4/5 Hayley G. 6 months ago on Google
    This was a really fun trip. We took the autoprogreso bus from Mérida to Progreso and then got a cab (50pesos) to El Corchito. It was 120pesos entry, you get a boat across the water and can then explore the reserve. There were two big cenotes open (I would describe them more as large ponds), one small one, and a little pond for the fish to bite your feet! The raccoons are everywhere and they are so cute to watch. We also saw coatis, iguanas, some cool birds and some tiny bats nesting in the roof. It's a small place so we spent about 1.5 hours here before heading back.

  • 4/5 Todd J. 1 year ago on Google
    There are about 3 cenotes here but only one looked clean enough to swim in. Lots of pretty tame critters running around! There is also a spot you can soak your feet in, where the fish eat your skin! Reasonable entrance fee includes the boat ride through the mangrove to the cenote area. A nice way to cool down on a very hot day. An easy drive from Merida and very close to Progreso.

  • 1/5 April P. 5 months ago on Google
    Whole place smells like sulfur and it’s absolutely filthy. The cenotes are unlike any others we visited in the area.. very murky with slimy ?macerated leaf litter at the bottom. I felt really gross after the swim, but also felt pressured to get in since I paid and took a boat out to do it 🤢 Lots of raccoons running around fighting over tortilla chips that a man throws to them. Doesn’t feel like an informed conservation effort.
