Things To Do
Cenote Tour
Cenote (pronounced seh-NO-tay) is the Spanish word for “sinkhole.” These natural sinkholes are limestone rocks that created caves and stalagmites over thousands of years. The Yucatan Peninsula has around 6,000 cenotes. The caves and caverns contain crystal clear water and were an important water source to the ancient Maya. Today, these are great diving, snorkeling, and swimming spots. These natural pools are a wonderful way to cool down after visiting some of these unmissable things to do in Tulum. Tulum has many gorgeous cenotes in and around the town for you to discover, many within a short drive from the center.
