Cenotes Route In Quintana Roo

Scientists confirm that a big rock fell from the sky somewhere close to the Yucatan area and killed all dinosaurs. Well, that asteroid brought tiny rocks that smashed into the ground creating deep holes in the soil, forming what we call today "cenotes."

Cenotes are natural sinkholes in the ground or rock with their natural ecosystem and crystal clear water where you can swim and dive.

The Riviera Maya owns about 7,000 cenotes! 

Inside each cenote, you can admire stalactites, stalagmites, bizarre rock formations, and other beautiful natural features. These underground caves offer a getaway from the classic tourist attractions. You pay for the entrance as the cenotes are usually family-owned. You can swim, dive or explore. Cenotes are located along the Riviera Maya corridor.
