About the experience.
Cenotes are natural sinkholes in the Yucatán limestone that open onto the groundwater below. With a bilingual guide you swim and float through caves and caverns, close to the stalactites and stalagmites, and hear how the formations came to be.
The second stop is Paradise Lagoon, where large rocks form reefs that shelter a wide mix of tropical fish. Snorkel gear, a life jacket and bottled water are provided, and an air-conditioned van collects you from your hotel.
