# Location

[Home](/index.md) · HTML version: https://wedding.houseabsolute.co.uk/location/

Our wedding will be in Mexico, in the beautiful Yucatán region. In October, you can expect temperatures in the high 20s °C with sun and the occasional shower. The closest airport is Cancún which has cheap flights from the UK: you should book as soon as possible as prices are low right now. Within the Yucatán peninsula, public transport is fairly sparse — you'll be getting around with taxis or rented cars. Taxis are cheap, and Uber / apps work well. Don't hail a taxi at the airport though, either book in advance or use an app when you get there.

## The locale

We will be staying in **Puerto Morelos** before the wedding which is a 20 minute drive from the airport. This is a beautiful town of white sand and beaches that's not too overrun by tourists. From here, we'll head out to [various activities](/timetable.md) which you are very welcome to join if you're looking for something to do.

The ceremony itself will be at **[Cenote Agua Verde](https://what3words.com/grapples.firebird.heads)**, a half-hour drive from Puerto Morelos into the jungle. There is shared transport on the wedding day for guests staying in the jungle lodges, and for guests in Puerto Morelos who asked for it on the [activities form](/activities.md); pickup times and points to follow. Everyone else makes their own way.

## Finding the cenote

Printable version, one page in English and one in Spanish, with the map and photos: [cenote-directions.pdf](https://wedding.houseabsolute.co.uk/cenote-directions.pdf).

The cenote is private and sits down an unpaved track off the highway, about 5 minutes from Casa Tattva.

1. **Turn off the highway** onto the dirt track at roughly km 28.7, opposite the wells area (zona de pozos). Coming from Puerto Morelos it is a sharp left that doubles back at about 45°; don't take the next road along, which leaves the highway at a right angle. what3words [///skimmers.examinees.informative](https://what3words.com/skimmers.examinees.informative), [Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=20.933806,-87.131583) (20.933806, -87.131583).
2. **Drive about 5 minutes** along the track until you reach a yellow tyre on a post, then **turn right**. [Photo of the yellow tyre](https://wedding.houseabsolute.co.uk/img/cenote-turn-tyre.jpg)
3. **Shortly after the turn** you reach a metal gate. That's the cenote: what3words [///grapples.firebird.heads](https://what3words.com/grapples.firebird.heads). This last track, after the yellow tyre, is not on Google Maps, so follow these directions and the sketch map on the HTML page.

There should also be signs along the way on the day. Afterwards, the reception at Casa Tattva is at what3words [///shrugs.cartoon.messes](https://what3words.com/shrugs.cartoon.messes).

There's no phone signal or internet at the cenote, so please save this page (or a screenshot of the directions and photos) before you set out.
