Top 3 Cenotes to Enjoy in Mexico

 

Cenotes, also known as natural pits, natural pools, or sinkholes, happen when groundwater becomes exposed after the collapse of the limestone above it. It is a beautiful natural scene that also had huge significance for Mayan culture. Not only did they supply the ancient civilization with water, but they were the site of rituals and sacrifices to their deities.

Nowadays, cenotes are a tourist attraction in the Yucatan Peninsula, in southeastern Mexico. The place is riddled with the most stunning cenotes and offers a wide variety of things to see and activities to engage in. No matter which cenote you visit, you're sure to have a spectacular time. However, to help you narrow down your options on your next trip, in this post, Brit Olom Tours, Inc. in Miami, FL will share a few of the Mexican cenotes you shouldn't miss!

Step into a cavern filled with stalactites and stalagmites at Sac Actun in Tulum. You'll be in awe at the geological formations. If you're an experienced diver, you can submerge into the depths and explore the world as you've never seen before.

If swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and being active in the water is more your speed, Cenote Manati is just for you. This is a lesser-known cenote, meaning you'll have enough space to have fun your way.

Lastly, if you want to visit one of Mexico's most famous cenotes, then you have to go to Gran Cenote in Tulum. Not only will you be surrounded by beautiful and calm waters, but you'll be able to swim with turtles!
