   Well I got back last month from Cancun. This cenote is definitely worth visiting. It’s exactly like it the video. It’s near Chichen Itza.

   I Just returned from my visit to Cancun and ofcourse i had to do the Chichen Itza tour. The 1st word came to my mind upon arriving was “simply breathtaking” indeed, I’ll be visiting Mexico again in the near future in hopes to explore similar Cenote’s and other historic land marks like this one..superb video

   I hope you find it too. It was truly amazing. On another trip, we swam in a privately owned one – very cool and then after that swam in this massive underground cave (there is a vid of it). There is soooo much to see and do there. I love it!!!

    I hope to find this place next time. The architecture is as amazing as the cenote.

    Thanks for this amazingly detailed video giving so many views of this wonderful place. The bright white fade-outs were a little hard to take and it would have been better with a tripod, but I can identify with all of that.

    Of course you are right. However, the timing was spot on – symptoms appeared 2 weeks after Ikil. Also I had been very careful about where I ate and only drinking bottled water etc. From subsequent reading I get the impression that swimming in fresh water anywhere in central America is not really a good idea. Glad you stayed healthy. Perhaps, as a European, I just lacked the necessary resistance to American bugs.

    Sure that’s possible – but since you can’t say for sure where you got it, people shouldn’t assume that you will get sick at Ik Kil.

    I swam there for at least an hour and drank more of the water than I wanted to.

    You could have gotten Giardia from anywhere there, and its possible you got it from drinking some other contaminated water (possibly from a drinking glass, or perhaps fruit that was washed in infected water, or thousands of possible other vectors

    After swimming here I came down with Giardia Lamblia. This cleared up after 2 treatments with Tinidazole. I did not get better and was diagnosed with Dientamoeba Fragilis – finally eradicated using Metronidazole and Paromomycin. Mean time I still have joint pains due to reactive arthritis. I cannot be sure that I caught these parasitic protazoa at Ikil, but it does seem extremely likely given that they are typically water borne infections. Both result from fecal contamination.
