Next will be a ride on a bike to a nearby CENOTE where we’ll swim in the refreshing blue green waters of an open sinkhole. Finally is TEMOZON, a lovely small COLONIAL TOWN know for it’s Longaniza (SPICY SAUSAGE) and carne ahumada (SMOKED MEAT), where we'll be stopping at a local restaurant to try its traditional dishes (vegetarian options available)
