The road that connects Puerto Morelos with Leona Vicario has several cenotes for your enjoyment. Cenote Lucero Verde is an open cenote of crystal clear waters and wonderful vegetation.

Among the many things you should not miss on your way through these Mayan lands of the Yucatan Peninsula are the cenotes. You will have many options on your trip, it is difficult to decide for one. If you live here, do not choose, go to all you can, they are to enjoy them.

Lucero Verde was a pleasant surprise on this road so prolific in cenotes, known as the Cenotes Route.

Green Lucero Cenote

The Lucero Verde cenote is open, with high walls, up to 7 meters, and surrounded by wonderful vegetation, a beautiful place. Like most open cenotes, they have the requested zip line or zip line, from where you throw yourself into the water. Try to keep your hands dry so as not to slip when sliding, I have seen some that slipped out of their hands and good ironing.

Another option is to jump into the water from two of the natural platforms: one of three meters and another, which already imposes a little, seven meters. I enjoy jumping into the water, I can't think of doing a head dive, mine is the stick 😉

The incredible crystalline waters that we normally enjoy in the cenotes have in Lucero Verde the prize of seeing the aquatic vegetation that dye it with life and color, giving the place a plus: to arrive, see it and smile, you are already in your cenote.
