Whether you are visiting Playa del Carmen or

Tulum, cenote diving is an unforgettable

adventure and one of the top diving experiences in Mexico.

Did you know the formation of the Yucatan Peninsula is

related to the ring of cenotes of Chicxulub crater? This

ring is a chain of cenotes forming a semicircle, which

according to studies is the edge of the impact crater left

by the asteroid which reportedly caused the extinction of

the dinosaurs 70 million years ago.

Its creation goes back millions of years, in the last Ice Age. The Yucatan Peninsula was an area covered by sea, which then descended and left the coral barrier exposed, which originated a limestone soil.
The limestone, being very porous, allows the filtration of rainwater that fills the numerous tunnels and caverns of the subsoil, which in turn form the subterranean rivers. As the limestone wears away, it collapses resulting in the cenotes.

In Quintana Roo the cenotes cover a territory of 61 km of caves, and many of them haven’t even been discovered.
The ancient Maya had a strong connection with the cenotes, as they were their source of water, and they also considered them to be the entrance to the underworld.
These pools of crystalline water exist in few places in the world, and the Yucatan Peninsula has the largest extension of them, aproximately 10,000 cenotes distributed in all its territory.
Thanks to the cenotes, a new modality has been developed in the world of diving and archeology: archaeological diving. Apart from archaeological treasures, remains of prehistoric animals of species unknown in the region, such as horses, elephants, camels and giant armadillos have been found.
