Review & FAQ:

Located deep in the lush jungle outside Tulum, what is now referred to as the Pet Cemetery Cenote was a surprising discovery in 1987. It is the second longest underwater cave system in the world, extending an estimated 51 miles. The warm, crystalline fresh water is derived from 28 known sinkholes, referred to as cenotes by locals. Mexican tourism, conservationists, and diving leaders have made the Dos Ojos underwater cave system easily accessible to tourists. They are welcome to explore its mysterious marine life, odd collection of scattered animal skeletons both familiar and ancient (including a tapir’s lower jaw bone), and breathtaking rock formations highlighted by stalagmites and stalacites.
