A day trip to Casa Tortugas Cenotes in Tulum.
Tulum is a beautiful coastal town that is known for its Mayan ruins, white sandy beaches, and cenotes. If you are a fan of nature and crave some adventure, then a day trip to the Casa Tortugas Cenotes in Tulum might be just what you need.
Cenotes are natural swimming holes that are found throughout the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. They are formed when limestones collapse and expose the underground water sources. Casa Tortugas Cenotes is one of the most visited cenotes in Tulum, and for a good reason. It is a hidden gem that offers crystal clear water and an unforgettable swimming experience.
The cenotes are located in the middle of a jungle, and it’s a bit of a hike to get there, but the scenery is worth the effort. As you walk through the jungle, you’ll come across a wooden staircase that leads down to the cenotes. Once you’ve descended the stairs, you’ll be met with three different swimming areas. The first one is shallow, perfect for kids and non-swimmers. The second one is a little deeper, and the third one is the deepest, with a wooden platform in the middle. You can jump off the platform into the water or swim around and explore the caves.
The water in the cenotes is incredibly clear, you can almost see the bottom, and the temperature is perfect for swimming. You can rent snorkeling equipment or a life jacket if swimming is not your forte. Exploring the caves and swimming in the cenotes is an unforgettable experience that you will cherish forever.
If you get hungry or thirsty, there is a food stand near the entrance to the cenotes that serves delicious homemade tacos and refreshing drinks. There are also restrooms and showers, so you can rinse off after your swim.
Visiting Casa Tortugas Cenotes is a perfect day trip for those staying in Tulum. It’s a unique experience that should not be missed when visiting this beautiful coastal town. So, pack your swimsuit, gather some friends, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure.
