Xenotes

The way we see it

Xenotes is a guided day run by Grupo Xcaret on the Cenote Route, near Puerto Morelos. You visit four private cenotes, one of each kind: a cavern, a semi-open cenote, an ancient cenote and an open one. Each stop has its own activity, from an assisted rappel into the cavern to kayak, ziplines and jumps into the water, and the day closes with a picnic in the jungle.

Why we recommend it
