Cenote Angelita

20.138245,-87.579054, Mexico

Description

Cenote Angelita is an off-the-beaten-path area south of Tulum. The cenote is not heavily advertised, and so does not see the crowds that others nearby do.

The cenote is in a limestone depression, with the stone walls surrounding the water. There is a ledge to jump from, and a deck at water level to climb in from.

The cenote is a popular spot for divers because of the water's clarity and depth stretching further than 60 meters below the surface. There are some stalactites, but the area of interest for divers is a conical mound of sulfate formed by debris which has sunk to the bottom of the cenote over time.

The water is cooler, and overall it makes for a nice swim in an hidden gem of a cenote.

There is no lifeguard or equipment for rent.

Cenote Angelita is open daily from 9am-5pm. Admission for swimmers is MX$100 per person.

Swim in Kaan Luum Lagoon

The lagoon, reachable from a short walk along dirt and plank walkways from the parking area, consists of a couple wooden decks with docks stretching into the colorful waters. In the center of the lagoon contains an underwater cave that sinks to a depth believed to be about 80 meters. This gives the lagoon a dark blue color, while the fringes are a light emerald tone. While the shallow parts sin...

Explore the Muyil Archaeological Site

While not as impressive or popular as the Tulum Archaeological Site [add hyperink] located 27km to the north, the Muyil Archaeological Site has several small groupings of structures, and has a coastal jungle feel that inland archaeological sites don't have.

Swim in Cenote Encantado

Access points to the cenote are limited to a couple lodging establishments along its banks, and each operates in a similar fashion of charging a small admission fee while offering free access to guests. Mangroves line the edges, and visitors can rent canoes or kayaks and head out onto the water. With the dense jungle environment here, there is not really room to lay out anywhere beside the ceno...
