Cenotes are one of the most stunning natural wonders that you can find in Mexico. They’re scattered all across Yucatán, and the visit to this peninsula is incomplete if you don’t take a moment to check them out. Here are three beautiful cenotes that will leave you in awe if you put them on your bucket list.
Dos Ojos Cenote
Dos Ojos is one of Mexico’s most popular cenotes and it’s home to many historic caves and crystal clear natural swimming holes. The clear visibility of its waters makes it a top snorkeling and cavern diving destination, but you’ll equally enjoy it if you’re simply there to look around.
Sacred Cenote
Located in close proximity to the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, this cenote comes with a pretty interesting backstory. Legend has it that the Mayans once used it as a place of sacrifice because archaeologists found many historical artifacts, such as gold, jade, and pottery underneath its surface.
Ik Kil Cenote
Another beautiful cenote near Chichen Itza, this is one of those natural wonders that have to be seen to be believed. Ik Kil Cenote will win you over from the get-go thanks to its verdant rock walls and threadlike vines. It’s another great spot for swimming and snorkeling because its waters are crystal clear.
