Stay in one of the fantastic Cancun hotels to visit cenotes
Cenotes are natural sinkholes and deep-water wells formed over centuries by erosion where you can admire crystal-clear waters and various types of caves. There are many cenotes to explore in the Riviera Maya, so you can easily plan a weekend to visit some of them by booking a room at one of the most incredible Cancun hotels to embark on this adventure!
Discover the magical Cenote Route
Near Cancun, you will find the Cenote Route, a magical 23-mile-long road lined with thick jungle, dotted with cenotes on both sides. In addition to admiring rock formations and beautiful flora, you can swim and enjoy these incredible natural wonders. Here are a few you can visit:
Kin Ha
This is one of the closest cenotes to Cancun. It’s an enclosed cenote with a small opening at the top, perfect for jumping into the refreshing waters below, which reach a depth of 131 ft. For scuba diving enthusiasts, Kin Ha offers exciting opportunities. Nearby, you will find Cenote Blanca Flo, where you can zipline or jump from an impressive tower.
Zapote
This small park is home to three distinct cenotes: Abuelo Che Che, Las Palmas, and Zapote. Here, you will marvel at the clear waters and unique mineral formations. In addition to cenotes, the park offers activities like a zipline circuit and ATV tours.
Siete Bocas
Siete Bocas or “7 mouths” is a remarkable place featuring a semi-close cenote with seven openings, giving it its name. Some of these entryways are connected, allowing you to swim from one to another. The rock formations, along with the surrounding flora and fauna, are awe-inspiring.
Boca del Puma
Translated as “Puma’s mouth”, Boca del Puma features two cenotes. The first resembles a pool and may not be as striking as others, but the second is an underground cenote perfect for freediving. In addition to the breathtaking crystal waters, you will find a 700-meter zipline circuit, ATVs, mountain bike expeditions, horseback riding, or rappel from a 21-meter-high platform.
Some tips for your visit
As natural aquatic formations, cenotes require careful attention to preserve their beauty. During your visit, avoid applying sunscreen or insecticide before swimming, as these products can contaminate the water, and avoid swallowing the water, as it is not treated. Refrain from touching the stalactites and stalagmites and remember to bring a towel, dry clothes and diving masks.
