The Cenote Temple is located right on the edge of the Chen Mul cenote, from where you can observe the Cenote. It is a platform with decoration, a central altar, two columns, and two pilasters. Access to it is via a staircase bordered by canopies, which leads to the platform. Another step leads to the portico, where 2 columns form three entrances together with the walls enclosing the portico. At the base of the platform, you can see small square openings that allow rainwater to enter the cenote.
