Cenotes are natural freshwater sinkholes formed by the collapse of limestone rock, revealing underground rivers. They were considered sacred by the Mayan culture, who saw them as gateways to the underworld. Their beauty and biodiversity make them a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
In Tulum, you can find different types of cenotes, each with its own charm:
Like large lagoons, perfect for swimming and soaking up the sun.
A balance of natural light and the feeling of being inside a cave.
Ideal for adventure seekers and diving enthusiasts.
Bring a swimsuit and towel, but avoid using non-biodegradable sunscreen to protect the ecosystem.
If you’re into adventure, consider renting snorkeling or diving gear.
Arrive early to avoid crowds and enjoy the tranquility.
Respect local rules and avoid leaving any trash behind.
