Spend a full day swimming three cenotes and the dramatic Kaan Luum lagoon south of Tulum. This guided tour mixes geology, Mayan history and easy swims with round-trip transport from Cancun or Playa del Carmen.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shuttle into green air that smells of wet limestone and jungle. Morning light slices through palms and the lagoon ahead holds a deep turquoise eye — Kaan Luum’s central cenote — daring you to wade toward it. Over the day you’ll move between open sinkholes and an underground pool, each pool a different expression of the Yucatán’s groundwater carved over millennia.
