Beneath the Mexican Penninsula of Yucatan lies an enormous and unique labyrinth of water. Through the cenotes you can enter fascinating caverns, caves and underground river passages. The Mayas gave the name cenotes to these underground chambers filled with fresh water. For them, these were the entrances to the underworld and places for spiritual activites. The caves were formed about 1.5 million years ago. The labyrinth of Yucatan has lain underwater ever since and everywhere there are holes in the ground containing collapsed cave ceilings, shafts, water basins, pools, lake and lagoons....the cenotes.
Best time of year for diving and snorkeling in these Cenotes is Dec-May....how perfect is that for us! Visibility is 65-260 feet! Water temperature is a refreshing 73-79 degrees.
There are many cenotes to choose from. Our tour operator goes to a different one everyday. The cenotes that are best for snorkeling are different from the ones that are best for diving, so these 2 activites cannot be done at the same location and will be provided in 2 excursion opportunities:
Excursion 1. TULUM/COBA/CENOTE & Excursion 2. CENOTE SCUBA DIVE
Details will be forthcoming....so stay tuned so you don't miss the deadline date for sign-up.
