Poolcocom Cenote: An open type with abundant vegetation of branches. The body of water is relatively small, approximately 13 meters long by 5 meters wide, with a depth of between 1.5 to 2 meters at the edge and an average maximum of 15 meters at the deepest part.

Cascabel Cenote: A closed type (cave) with few rocky formations; the depth ranges from 1.5 meters to 15 meters. This cenote was recently discovered due to signs of a tree called "Kopó" or "Álamo." The name of this cave derives from a snake from the region which left its rattle near the ascent area.

Chacksikin Cenote: Semi-open; it has an entrance of 5 to 6 meters wide with a free fall of approximately 12 meters. The water surface is 40 meters wide with a huge vault 10 meters high adorned on the ceiling with a large number of speleothems such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and stone curtains.
