More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the van into a canopy of palms and limestone outcrops, the air cool and damp as if the jungle itself is exhaling. Light filters through holes in the limestone, making the cenote water gleam like a hidden pool of glass. Here, the three sinkholes you visit on this small-group tour each have a different personality: one invites slow exploration, another challenges you with a rope swing and jumping platform, the third teases with a short zipline over open water.
