Swim in Cenote Jaguar

20.325521,-87.370088, Mexico

Description

Cenote Jaguar is possibly the least impressive cenote of the Parque Dos Ojos. The main draw to Cenote Jaguar is that visitors have the option to pay for a zip line ride that begins on one side of the cenote and crosses over the trees and water before landing at the other side.

The cenote lies at surface level, with cool blue waters surrounded by mangroves and jungle. There are three different jumping platforms, ranging from 2 meters to 6 in height. Otherwise, a wooden deck lets swimmers and snorkelers enter and exit the water. While the cenote is lengthy, much of the banks are covered in mangrove roots, so most of the activity sticks to the area just beneath the jumping platforms.

Life jackets are provided free of charge. Snorkel and mask (MX$70) and locker (MX$50) rentals are available.

All visitors must stop at the Parque Dos Ojos Visitor Center and pay admission before proceeding to Cenote Jaguar. The Visitor Center will try to upsell visitors on snorkel and diving tours.

Cenote Jaguar is open daily from 8am-5pm. Admission is MX$250 per person, ages 7 and up.

Swim in Cenote Dos Palmas

The cenote is set in a limestone cave depression, with the water surrounding a central island 'eye'. The water is clear blue, and as this cenote tends not to be crowded, you'll have a chance of seeing and swimming with the freshwater turtles that make their home here. The rounded limstone cave takes on a 'subway' like feel, as it's possible to swim along the rounded walls. Hammocks and tables ...

Explore Cenote Dos Ojos

This Cenote will be the first recommendation from a local, if you’re looking for the grandeur of the famous Grand Cenote, but minus the crowds. The name comes from the two large underground caves connected by a very large, complex cavern, complete with the deepest known cave passage in Quintana Roo at 396 feet. You can reach it by rental car, bus, collectivo, or guided tour. We recommend doing...

Swim with Sea Turtles in Akumal

Just 25km north of Tulum and 39km south of Playa del Carmen lies Akumal Bay. Despite its proximity to the big vacation destinations and massive resorts, Akumal remains relatively quiet. There are several ways to get there, the easiest being by rental car which are insanely cheap in Mexico. Parking is 70 pesos if that's the route you choose. The second, and possibly the best option is by collect...
