lCenote Azul is not in a cave, unlike many others. Rather, this is a shallower kind of cenote, making it the perfect place to visit with kids.
There are plenty of fish in the water that will swim around your legs. And, if you stand still, they will suck on your feet, a bit like the fish spas that exist in several places in the world.
This cenote was discovered by a pig. Legend has it that some of the nearby residents had a pig who would always return home at the end of the day covered in mud, even in times of drought. The owners decided to follow it one day and discovered cenote Dzitnup – also known as “X’Keken”, the Mayan word for “pig”.
This cenote is perfect to visit around noon when the stream of light goes through the top.
The name is quite literal. Because it is so close to main road, in the 80s the taxi drivers from Tulum used to wash their cars here.
This is not the case anymore and now people can enjoy this cenote for some spectacular diving and snorkeling.
This is a good cenote to visit if you want to get away from the touristic places. However, even though the scenery is beautiful, and the place offers a cool shade from the tropical heat, you might want to think twice before you dive in. The reason: nearby, there is a bunch of city sewer line.
This is one of the most beautiful cenotes near Playa del Carmen. Its wide areas make it perfect for beautiful photos and the clear waters allow visitors to have a great view of the aquatic life.
Trees and woods surround this cenote, making it look like Eden Garden, thus the name.
This is a great spot to dive because La Noria is 18 meters deep and 47 meters wide. But this cenote also has something that most others don’t: a swing inside a cave! There is also a floating platform at the center of the cenote, so if you swim there, you can enjoy a nice float in the middle of a beautiful scenery.
