| Today we took a colectivo out to Homún, which is the site of many Cenotes. There’s one big complex called Santa Barbara which is on the outskirts of town but we decided we wanted to see the town and do some of the Cenotes outside of Santa Barbara. \n\n The colectivo stopped at Santa Barbara and a few people hopped out. As soon as they did, a bunch of men jumped in immediately trying to guide them to the Cenotes. When we got off the colectivo down in town, the same thing happened. These guys are relentless and really pushy. I started calling them piranhas because that’s what it feels like - you’re some kind of morsel that’s been dropped into their water and they go into a feeding frenzy. In any case, we escaped the piranhas unscathed and had our little tour. But every time we got near the one side of the town square… piranha feeding frenzy!!\n\n Our first stop was Santa Maria Cave & Cenote. It is on some personal property and managed by the family who owns the property. When we showed up a young fella who speaks very little English came out and took us down into the cave. Unfortunately we were not able to go all the way to the Cenote but the cave tour, brief as it was, was super cool. \n\n Next we walked back towards the Santa Barbara Cenotes (oops) where we visited both Tza Ujun Kat Cenote and Pool Uinic cenote. There were three Cenotes all managed together (but not part of Santa Barbara) and we visited two of those. \n\n We then had a nice (but too big) lunch and the meandered back to piranha land to catch the colectivo. To our delight, one was pulling up just as the piranhas were getting all worked up.
