Are you looking for cenotes excursions in Riviera Maya? One of the must-see activities in Riviera Maya is to enjoy the incredible beauty of the cenotes. A cenote is a subway cave with fresh water coming from fluvial torrents and/or with salt water zones that seep from the sea dissolving the limestone rock and causing the creation of such cavities and subway fluvial networks.
In Riviera Maya we find a great multitude of cenotes, each one more wonderful and incredible. For this reason, from Exotik Mayan Tours we offer different excursions that will allow you to visit the seven best cenotes in Riviera Maya.
In the surroundings of Tulum, Chichen Itza or Coba are some of the most spectacular cenotes of the Riviera Maya. For this reason, our excursions are designed to offer the best of each place, combining in the same day the visit to the main Mayan cities to enjoy the archaeological remains, with the visit and swim in the most acclaimed cenotes of the area. Undoubtedly a plan to make the most of a day of your vacation in Riviera Maya combining culture with adventure and nature.
Cenote Secreto is undoubtedly for us the most beautiful cenote in the Riviera Maya. It is a must on any list of cenotes excursions in Riviera Maya. This subway cenote has crystal clear water and is full of stalactites and stalagmites, the best experience for visitors who love water and nature.
The Discovery cenote stands out because it is located completely underground, so it boasts one of the cenotes with more stalactites and stalagmites of the place, which shine when reflected with the crystal clear waters and create a spectacular atmosphere for the senses. This cenote, whose original name is Sac Pol, is located in a jungle area near Playa del Carmen and is one of our favorites since its hidden location makes access much more exclusive.
The Choo Ha cenote stands out for the beauty of its waters and the formations of stalactites, stalagmites and columns that have formed over time. Thanks to its beauty, it has nothing to envy to other better known cenotes. It is located in the Coba area and is near the Tankah Ha Cenote.
The attraction of the Tankach Ha cenote is its depth (17 meters) that allows you to dive from wooden walkways at a height of 10 meters. Perfect for those who want to feel pure adrenaline. It is located in the area of Cobá and is a must on your trip. The stalactite formations are usually filled with the flora of the area, which makes for a beautiful spectacle.

Our tours include transportation for the trip in small groups, 100% in Spanish, meals, water and snacks included in the trips, as well as all the necessary material for the activities.
The play of light, the smell of humidity and nature are just the tip of the iceberg of these hallucinating spaces out of a fantasy. It’s something you have to experience firsthand, you can’t describe it. Here are some of the best cenotes in the Riviera Maya: Sacred Cenote of Chichén Itzá Cenote Ik-Kil Cenote Suytun Gran Cenote Cenote Chac Mool Cenote Xkekén Cenote Tak Be Ha Cenote
It is not easy to choose one cenote over the others, especially because each person has his or her own taste and preference. However, we can say that Ik Kil is one of the most majestic and spectacular. It is close to Chichén Itzá and is open pit. Surrounded by vegetation and 27 meters deep, it has natural balconies from which you can observe the cenote without having to descend. In addition, you can take a bath if you wish.
In Quintana Roo there are about 600 cenotes, created naturally due to the filtration of rainwater in the limestone. But, here are the best ones between Cancun and Riviera Maya: Cenote Azul Cenote Eden Dos Ojos Tajma-ha Chac Mool Gran Cenote
The best known, most popular and most visited cenotes are : Cenote Azul in Bacalar Cenote Dos Ojos, Carwash, Calavera, Sac Actun, Escondido and Gran Cenote in Tulum Cenote Ik Kil in Chichen Itza Cenote Jardin del Eden in Quintana Roo Cenote Cristalino in Playa del Carmen.
A cenote is nothing more than a deep water well. The origin of the water is found in the rainfall and in the currents of the rivers that originate in the heart of the Earth. When you swim in a cenote or Dzonot (Mayan word meaning cavern with water), you feel a certain coolness because the maximum temperature of the water is 24 ºC (75ºF). The greater the depth, the greater the story it contains. Thus, in many of them, remains of human and animal skeletons or vessels have been found.
The largest cenote in Mexico is not in Yucatan, but in the volcanic mountain range of Tamaulipas. There and almost secretly, in the municipality of Aldama, hides El Zacatón. It has a diameter of 99 meters and a depth of about 339 meters. You can find it at Rancho Aventura. This immense water well is fed by rain seepage. The waters are sulfurous and have a metallic blue color that invites you to dive, although it is not recommended.
