The main swimming areas feature two connected open-air sinkholes.
These clear freshwater pools give the cenote its name. The water stays at a constant 77°F (25°C) all year round.
You must wear a mandatory life jacket to swim in the designated clear water zones. Sunscreen and insect repellents are strictly prohibited to protect the cave ecosystem.
30-45 minutesBright natural light
This broad sinkhole fills with natural light. It is ideal for swimming and beginner snorkelers. Look down through the clear water to see massive rock formations extending below. You can often watch scuba divers descending here.
30-45 minutesAccess to bat cave area
The West Eye is darker and more enclosed. Trailing jungle roots hang down toward the water. This pool offers access toward the bat cave section. Look for small fish and turtles swimming near the edges.
10-15 minutesSlippery when wet
Elevated pathways connect the two cenotes through the jungle. These platforms provide safe walking routes and good viewing angles. Walk carefully between the pools. The damp wood gets very slippery from dripping swimmers.
