Cenotes are natural openings into the immense network of fresh water that crosses the Yucatán limestone. Some are open to the sky, others unfold underground between stalactites and rays of light. Their water is fragile: obligatory shower, no sunscreen and absolute compliance with local instructions.
Dos Ojos
Two basins connected to a large flooded cave system north of Tulum. The transparency of the water and the play of light make it a remarkable place for snorkeling and supervised diving.
Gran Cenote
Easy to access from Tulum, this semi-open cenote alternates rocky passages, turquoise water and shallow areas. It is well suited to a first discovery and to families comfortable in the water.
Taak Bi Ha
A spectacular underground cenote, known for its concretions and blue light. The atmosphere is more mineral and intimate than in the large open pools.
Cenote Calavera
Close to the center, it owes its name to the round openings in its vault. We descend into a deeper pool, popular with swimmers and travelers looking for a short experience.
Crystal Cenote & Escondido
Two open cenotes, surrounded by vegetation south of Tulum. Their more natural atmosphere lends itself to swimming, rest and a half-day away from the hotel zone.
To preserve these ecosystems, choose responsible operators, avoid any products on the skin before swimming and never touch rock formations.
