Cenotes Review

The Yucatan peninsula has the unusual feature of resting on a bed of limestone. Over the centuries, as rainfall was absorbed into the ground, it created subterranean caverns filled with fresh water pools. Sometimes the “roof” of these caverns collapses in, leaving the pool open to the sky and creating a fresh water swimming hole in the jungle. These pools, known as cenotes (pronounced: say- no-tays) are a popular tourist attraction and offer a place a unique natural beauty to be enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.

In the Yucatan today there are over 3,000 cenotes, with only about 1,400 of them actually studied and registered. Many of these cenotes are easily accessible to the public. Most are privately owned and there is a minimal fee (up to $10 US per person) for admission. In addition, many “adventure” or eco-tours offer cenote trips. The cenotes listed here are some of our own favorites.
