About

A shallow, sunlit cavern pool that turns into a half open cave the further back you swim, with catfish, turtles and the occasional bat overhead once the light fades. Wooden platforms and ladders make it the easiest cenote in the area to get in and out of with kids or gear. It sits a few minutes outside town on the road to Cobá, so pairing the two in one morning is the standard move.
