Review & FAQ:

Located outside of the ancient Mayan city of Tulum deep in the Mexican jungle is a series of caves and sinkholes that serve as a gateway to an incredibly fascinating submerged world. One of these openings is the Angelita Cenote, a spacious, 200-foot-deep pool that suddenly appears from the thick jungle surroundings. The steady flow of water meeting the crumbling of porous limestone created this gaping cavern, which the ancient Mayans considered a holy site after they discovered it. Today, it serves as a popular spelunking and scuba diving site that provides visitors with an extraordinary experience of an underwater “river.”
