Cenotes are cool, clear freshwater pools unique to the Yucatán Peninsula. Here are my favorite ones near Tulum to swim and relax.

Caleta Tankah
A calm cove where fresh water meets the sea...

Gran Cenote
Gran Cenote is absolutely gorgeous — crystal turquoise water, caves, turtles...

Laguna Kaan Luum
A shallow lagoon with a deep cenote in the center...
