From famous swimming spots in Tulum to quiet places off the main road — the cenotes I keep returning to.
One of the most visited cenotes near Tulum, excellent for swimming and snorkeling. Wooden platforms make entry easy and the wide opening lets in plenty of light.
Two adjacent cenotes connected by a vast underwater cavern system, world-famous for cave diving and snorkeling.
A spectacular open cenote with hanging vines and waterfalls, perfect to combine with a Chichén Itzá visit.
Famous for the iconic stone platform and a single beam of light piercing the cave at midday — Instagram heaven.
Three connected pools in the jungle — perfect for families with cliff jumping spots for the brave.
Three openings give it the “skull” nickname. Loved by divers and adventurous swimmers.
Community-run cenote with hanging roots and turquoise water — a quieter alternative to Ik Kil.
Two beautiful cave cenotes a few meters apart, both featuring breathtaking light beams and roots.
Crystal-clear waters with mangroves and a small jumping cliff. Often overlooked by tourists.
Right in town — perfect quick swim while exploring colonial Valladolid.
