I am sharing with you the pictures of the new price lists. Since it’s been open they have made lots of changed and developed the area and of course increased the price.

If you dive though, you can enter from one cave and come out from the other, hence the name. Of course, you don’t need to be a diver if you just want to enjoy the cenote, have a swim and even snorkel. It requires a good level of preparation, apt equipment, and an expert guide. It is a flooded cave system that has been explored since 1986 and it’s still on the radar of passionate adventure divers and archaeologists.Īccording to the information we have the underwater cave system is around 61km long with a depth of 396 feet (118 meters)and with that length it remains one of the top 10 underwater cave systems in the world. The cenotes Dos Ojos, which means 2 eyes, is one of the most popular among divers. You can also check them out on the map at the end of the post. However, if you are interested specifically in the Tulum area, you will find this guide on the Cenote around Tulum more suitable for your needs. The list will follow a geographical order from Puerto Morelos to Tulum.

I have visited some of them but I will tell you also what I haven’t personally seen but I have heard of, just for the sake of information. The majority of the cenotes of the Riviera Maya are located on the side of the road that is opposite from the beach although there are a couple right by the beach, fascinating ones. Just like the popular towns of Homun and Cuzamà in Yucatan and La Ruta de Los cenotes in Puerto Morelos you can find many cenotes along the Carretera Federal (as you can see in the below map). More about the history and geology in this post.

They used the cenotes not only as precious and unique sources of water provision but also sacred places for their religious ceremonies. The importance of the cenotes goes back to the Mayan times, the pre-Hispanic population that inhabits this area. The entire flat and low region is made of limestone bedrock which allows the rainwater to filtrate the soil allowing huge deposits of water and underground rivers. There are more than 300 all scattered around the entire peninsula of Yucatan and they are some of its most precious natural treasures. If you like you can find out more detailed information here.Īs a heritage of the Mayan culture, the cenotes of Yucatan are deep underwater lakes whose waters are filtered from the rocks either from underneath or from the rains above. Here below I will be talking about all the best cenotes in Riviera Maya that you can visit in half a day trip (or one full day, depending on how much you will love it).īefore moving forward, I need to spend a few words on what is a cenote. I have already mentioned the beautiful cenotes of Puerto Morelos which are the closest cenotes to Cancun, on the Ruta de Los cenotes. The Riviera Maya is that stretch of land that starts from Puerto Morelos and goes all the way to the end of the Sian kaán biosphere in Felipe Carrillo Puerto.Ĭancun and anything before Puerto Morelos is technically not included in what is called the Riviera Maya.
