About this audio guide
This guide to Cenote Suytun, a cave pool outside Valladolid in the Yucatan, opens on a cattle ranch and the sixty-second line of tourists now waiting on a stone platform inside it. You will hear where that platform came from and how one photograph turned a working ranch into one of Mexico's most photographed cenotes. It also traces the Maya name Suytun and what earlier visitors once left in caves like this one. Best visited around midday, when the light falls squarely over the stone.
