Laguna Kaan Luum is a great spot to check out while visiting Tulum. It's a lake with typically…read moreturquoise waters. It has a cenote in the middle, but only scubadivers are allowed to go. This is my second visit here and although it was still beautiful, the water wasn't as turquoise and breathtaking as I remember it being the first time I visited. After conducting some research, I do believe that has to do with the time of year of the visits. Regardless, it's still very enjoyable and worth checking out. It's basically a very calm lake. The atmosphere is calm, relaxed, and completely care free no worries vibe. It's the spot to definitely unplug and take in natures pure beauty right in front of your eyes. In the water are hammocks for swinging. An area for overlook. A few huge docks. There's also a few swings in the water. A bar area to purchase beverages and food items. Note, it does cost to get in. I believe it was $18.00 US dollars. You are not allowed to bring in sunscreen, you leave it at the door, and can take it on your way out. You're required to take a shower upon entering. Staff were friendly and explained everything well even with the bit of language barrier. My friend and I enjoyed our time for about two hours and if I come back in February/March 2026, I'd definitely come back for another visit.

This Laguna is a great spot to go swimming! We came after a long and hot walk through the nearby…read moreTulum ruins, so it felt especially refreshing. The Laguna is only a few minutes of walking away from the parking lot. There is a nice observation tower to look at the shift between shallow and deep water. Regular swimmers are limited to the shallow area on the outskirts of the Laguna (which is very expansive) while divers with equipment are allowed to go to the deep center. In the shallow areas are various swings, hammocks, photo opportunities, and even volleyball nets (bring your own ball). We spent a few hours relaxing in the water and soaking up the sun. The ticket is 300 pesos per person and parking is free (need a small tip).

It wasn't too far of a drive (~1.5 hrs) with no tolls. When we got to the place, we were hounded by the tour guides, apparently, you have to pay 50 pesos to get in. We did just that and got stunning views of the pink salt lagoon (2 micro algae form to produce this enriched salt) and a regular salt lagoon. It is also very hot, be sure to wear lots of sunscreen. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately since there's a new law that prohibits you from going into the water and just randomly wandering in. You have to pay 50 pesos to get a tour guide and see the pink lakes up close. Otherwise, you can grab them from afar.

You can't go in the water or even terribly near it - just stand above it while your "guide" (who walks with you 200 yards or so) takes pictures.

We were thinking about a day trip to Holbox, but we met a local Yucatan couple at a cenote one day that said Punta Allen would be a much better option. The main deterrent is the road to get there, and that's what keeps the place such a hidden gem. They told us we would be fine in our little tiny rental car, but every blog/article online said you needed a 4x4. I read horror stories about getting stuck in the sand and the idea of getting a flat on a tiny strip of land in the middle of the ocean with nobody around for miles definitely scared us. We proceeded to ask local people, and they pumped us up to go, so off the hell we went! It was definitely the craziest drive I've ever experienced. There are so many dips everywhere, if you're not a good driver or a nervous driver it might not be a good idea. It is also one of the most beautiful drives through the jungle with glimpses of the ocean every now and then and watch out for the iguanas crossing the road. And then finally you reach the little town of Punta Allen, with no cell phone service and electricity only at certain times of the day. Amazing. There are plenty of eco tour options in the area, they're all connected so you're going to get the same price and tour. We were having lunch at one of the restaurants on the beach, and one of the tour boats was right there, so we finished up our super fresh seafood lunch and got right on the boat. Our host was amazing and man can he drive a boat! He's a local that's dedicated to this and knows this part of the ocean like the back of his hand. He took us to see dolphins, then to see sea turtles, then to snorkel around the coral reefs, and finally to the "natural pool." This was such an amazing experience! This was one of the most magical experiences in Tulum, which is already magical. The hardest roads sometimes lead to the most beautiful places. I don't know whose bumper sticker I read that on but it fits. The rough journey makes it that much sweeter, and I'm so glad we made it.

There's a waterfall, but I'd course depends on the day on how much water is actually falling. There is a photographer to take your photos and you can view and purchase them on your way out. You are welcome to bring your phone with you to take your own photos. I suggest buying a case to do this. The sinkhole is 150 feet deep so do this with caution. It is good for kids as well.

I would suggest any and everyone traveling close to Yucatán visit this site. Our visit to Cenote was the first stop of a bus tour. We were greeted by a shaman who blessed and prayed over our entire group. We purchased a few souvenirs and then dined on some amazing food at the outdoor restaurant and enjoyed a little show while we ate. We then walked the grounds to explore and learn more about the Mayans. The Cenote was truly an astonishing sight. While I didn't get to take a dip in the water, just standing inside this amazing wonder was super breathtaking! I've seen pictures of cenotes, but never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would be standing inside of one. After visiting the cenote, we headed over to the tequila tasting! Literally each and every tequila we tasted was smooth and quite delicious! I ended up purchasing four bottles of flavored tequila, which I cannot wait to share with my friends back in the states.

First off, do not use Apple maps to find this place as it will divert you to some dive shop in the…read moremiddle of town. You'll need to use Google maps to get you to the exact location. This was our very first cenote on this trip. It's 500 pesos for adults and 250 pesos for kids that are less than 4'5" or so. Cash only. (If paying in US dollars, it's $30 US and $15 for children.) Be sure to collect your ticket. There is free parking out front as well. Once you go in, there are outdoor showers that you are expected to use to rinse off. No sunscreen is allowed. And before you get your Personal Flotation Device (PFD), they will check that you have showered. However, no one is actually watching you as you rinse off as some reviews have mentioned. They'll also provide a snorkeling mask too. You'll need to walk down some stairs and there's an option to rent a locker for 30 pesos. Some people left their belongings unattended, but you'll get a key for your locker and they'll hold your ID card until you return the key. It's a small area to snorkel around and you'll see a lot of turtles. There are some darker areas, and a waterproof flashlight would have been very useful during those parts. The water is super clear, so let's keep it that way. There's a large grassy area to dry off and relax. I would suggest bringing some snacks if you want to relax out in the sun because it does get cold in the water after awhile. There are no in and out privileges though. Overall, it's a nice little cenote to visit. I would recommend 1-2 hours depending on how much time you want to swim around. Park hours: 8:10 am to 4:45 pm, last entrance at 4:15 pm.

They're not pet monkeys that come when coaxed by food. The canoe ride was nice because of the scenery. By asking questions, I learned that this organization was a type of collective. The local Mayan people take turns and rotate evenly to help raise funds for their families. The women run a hand made craft shop that also rotates product and people to help benefit the entire population. This turned out to be a fun family adventure that I can feel good about, not only because we had fun but because another family also benefited.

No other access is available. Those with stair complications be careful, there are about four small flights and then it's a dive or a jump into the water but a shaky set of wet stairs with a questionably stable rail to guide you back up. If you struggle with balance be warned. A life guard on duty will be there at all times and side rails to hold onto from top to bottom. Life jackets are optional and available! You can choose to use the bungee rope to swing from like Tarzan or jump off the side. You can set up scuba diving tours to view the deep depths of this hole, locals say it's more than 50 meters deep and if you swim down a few you can see black catfish! It's beautiful and not too cold.
