A lot of the Yucatan cenotes are available for tourists and in many of them you can also scuba dive or snorkel. The best cenotes in Yucatan, in which you can dive, are Gran Cenote, Cenote Angelita, Dos Ojos, Ponde Rosa, Kuklan and Chak-Mol. Other that you should consider visiting while being in Mexico are: Cenote Suytun, Cenote Oxman, Cenote Choo-Ha, Cenote Zacil-Ha, Cenote Tamcach-Ha, Cenote X\u2019Canche, Cenote Azul or Cenote Peba.

Among all the animals living there you can find, for example, bats, fresh-water turtles, alligators and venomous snakes. I&#8217;ve even seen a few tarantulas with my own eyes. Among the flora, you can also see there various species of algae and other examples of plants that are adapted to living in environment deprived of natural light. The outer parts of these karst formations are covered with thick tropical vegetation. In some cenotes you can also see tree roots, making the whole experience even more mysterious and magical<\/p><h6>Cenotes in Mayan culture<\/h6><p>Yucatan cenotes were very important in Mayan life and culture. The word &#8220;cenote&#8221; was derived from how they called these caves, as <strong><em>dzonot<\/em><\/strong> meant ample or deep. Their inaccessibility and mysteriousness made the Mayans believe that cenotes were entrances to another world, <em>Xibala<\/em>, so a place in which the world of the living met the world of the dead. Mayans believed that Chac, a god of water, flora, rain and storm, lived in cenotes. They made sacrifices to their gods in there, offering them goods made of gold or jade but sometimes they performed also human sacrifices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6a4cd9c3 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6a4cd9c3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-27258d81\" data-id=\"27258d81\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b2255a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7b2255a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_7593.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20681\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_7593.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_7593-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_7593-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_7593-440x293.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-433acb6c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"433acb6c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5a2fb258\" data-id=\"5a2fb258\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4359ba60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4359ba60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cenotes in Mexico\u2019s Yucatan Peninsula in which you can dive and snorkel<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1d7d4d54 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1d7d4d54\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-21629a47\" data-id=\"21629a47\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-785b9c11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"785b9c11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A lot of Mexican cenotes are available for sightseeing and in many of them you can also <strong>dive<\/strong> and <strong>snorkel<\/strong>, so actively observe underwater life.

In Yucatan you can experience two different types of diving &#8211; cavern and cave diving. <strong>Cavern diving<\/strong> is when you dive in a small group, accompanied by a guide. By contrast,<strong> cave diving<\/strong> is more technical scuba diving, for which you need cave diver qualifications &#8211; it would be the best if you acquired them in Yucatan<\/p><h6>Gran Cenote<\/h6><p>One of the biggest cenote in the Yucatan Peninsula, and most frequently visited by tourists, is <strong>Gran Cenote<\/strong>, which is 120 meters long. It&#8217;s characterized by tremendous riches of karst forms &#8211; stalagmites, stalactites and vast rock chambers. The biggest impression is made by karst formations, called <strong>Lotus Gardens<\/strong>. You should remember that because of the rock formations that can be found in cenotes, the divers are required to be able to maintain <strong>buoyancy<\/strong>, so basically being able to hover in the depths. Gran Cenote is situated next to <strong>Tulum<\/strong> and quite close to <strong>Playa del Carmen.<\/strong> You can visit it every day, between 8 AM and 4:45 PM. Ticket costs 450 pesos and it includes entrance to all the cenotes in Dos Ojos Park, as well as San Actun and Nicte Ha, which are also worth visiting. If you want to visit only Dos Ojos, then the ticket costs 350 pesos<\/p><h6>Cenote Angelita<\/h6><p>In the middle of a jungle, 15 km from <strong>Tulum <\/strong>there is a karst sinkhole, called <strong>Cenote Angelita.<\/strong> Location of this cenote and reaching it is an experience on its own but remember &#8211; it&#8217;s only the beginning of your adventure. Cenote Angelita is about 50 m wide in diameter and it&#8217;s about 60 m deep. At 29 meters in depth there is a 2 m thick layer of hydrogen sulfide and below there is only salt water of the sea. In depths of this particular cenote there are lots branches, parts of trees and other plants that fell to the cenote directly from the surrounding jungle. Only experienced divers are allowed to dive there, as there is a risk of developing nitrogen narcosis due to the depth of this karst pit cave. You can dive in Cenote Angelita every day, between 8 AM and 1 PM. A ticket, including transport from and to the hotel costs 159 US dollars.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5ce8417c elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5ce8417c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-612d989c\" data-id=\"612d989c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-203730cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"203730cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/luz-mendoza-5n9aq7bpuvQ-unsplash.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20664\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/luz-mendoza-5n9aq7bpuvQ-unsplash.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/luz-mendoza-5n9aq7bpuvQ-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/luz-mendoza-5n9aq7bpuvQ-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelandkeepfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/luz-mendoza-5n9aq7bpuvQ-unsplash-440x293.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b70ecb0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7b70ecb0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-14d590b3\" data-id=\"14d590b3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f030b17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f030b17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>Cenote Dos Ojos<\/h6><p>Those who prefer <strong>snorkeling <\/strong>would love <strong>Cenote Dos Ojos<\/strong>, which in Spanish means &#8220;two eyes&#8221;.

Eels, catfish and turtles live there.

Even though they are very close to each other, they differ almost completely. In <b>Cenote Chak-Mool<\/b> there are stalactites and stalagmites. But the biggest attraction of this place are tree roots, getting inside the cave through cracks in the limestone. <b>Cenote Kukulkan <\/b>cannot boast with majestic stalactites and stalagmites but it owes its uniqueness to incredible illusion of light at the entrance to the cave.

It caused cloudiness of the water and at depth of 3 meters the visibility is only about 1.5 m. But the deeper you descend, the better the visibility gets. It&#8217;s an awesome place for <strong>snorkeling<\/strong> fans, because you can watch there lots of fresh-water fish and algae at the bottom of the cenote. Diving in Cenote Aktun-Ha is available between 8 AM to 11:30 AM and then between 1 PM to 4:30 PM. Those who want to only swim and snorkel pay 40 pesos entrance fee, while divers pay 120 pesos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-293fa16c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"293fa16c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3dac1fd3\" data-id=\"3dac1fd3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ff0a77b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ff0a77b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Other interesting cenotes available for visiting and swimming<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-25814839 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"25814839\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5175599f\" data-id=\"5175599f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74bc0dd7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74bc0dd7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>Cenote Suytun<\/h6><p>Cenote Suytun is situated 8 kilometers east from Valladolid.

In the middle of the water surface there is a platform, in which you can stand almost in the middle of the lake, having only a tight pass above your head, illuminated by a shaft of light. Cenote Suytun is besieged by tourists but I have to honestly tell you that when I was visiting it, there was almost no one there. Maybe that&#8217;s why it impressed me so much and it&#8217;s still one of my favorites. This cenote is open between 9 AM and 5 PM (last entrance at 4:30 PM).

Deep down there are also caverns, which connect different pools of this cenote system. A cliff dominates the water surface, from which you can jump right into the azure water. There are a lot of different fish species. Cenote Azul is situated between <strong>Playa del Carmen <\/strong>and<strong> Tulum <\/strong>and it&#8217;s open every day between 9 AM to 5 PM and entrance fee for an adult costs 80 pesos<\/p><h6>Cenote Peba<\/h6><p><strong>Cenote Peba<\/strong> is hard to reach but it&#8217;s situated nearby a road from <strong>Merida <\/strong>to <strong>Uxmal<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a fully covered, small, underground cenote. Thanks to the fact that it&#8217;s difficult to get there, it&#8217;s not besieged by the tourists and if you&#8217;re lucky you might be there all alone. Cenote Peba is open every day between 10 AM to 5 PM and entrance fee for an adult costs 20 pesos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most beautiful and most interesting wonder of the Yucatan nature in Mexico are karst phenomena, carved in limestone bedrock of this peninsula &#8211; the cenotes.
