The day opens under a high jungle canopy where birds and the distant lap of water set the cadence. Guests move from shaded paths to a cool sinkhole rim, lower into a cavern system carved from Yucatán limestone, then return to a hotel pool where a chef-arranged floating breakfast waits on a wooden tray.

History
Cenotes were central to Mayan life as freshwater sources and ritual sites; temazcals derive from Indigenous sweat-house traditions used for healing and cleansing.
Conservation
Cenote ecosystems are sensitive to pollution and sunscreen runoff; operators encourage low-impact practices and limit visitor numbers to reduce disturbance.
Reserve your spot on the Floating Breakfast+Cavern Tour includes entrance to the cenote-Temazcal today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring water shoes
Limestone and steps around cenotes can be slippery—water shoes protect your feet and improve traction when entering and exiting the water.
Use biodegradable sunscreen
Protect both your skin and the fragile cenote ecosystem by choosing reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen and applying it before arrival.
Pack a dry bag for electronics
Phones and cameras are invited for Instagrammable spots—store them in a small dry bag while swimming and in the cavern.
Respect temazcal etiquette
Follow the guide’s lead: the temazcal is a controlled heat session—sip water, sit quietly, and notify staff if you feel unwell.
Swimsuit
Worn under clothing for the cenote swim and convenient for the pool-based breakfast.
Water shoes
Grip and protect feet on sharp or slippery limestone edges and cavern access points.
Biodegradable sunscreen
Protects skin while preventing chemical runoff into the cenote ecosystem.
