WHY GREAT CENOTE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN RIVIERA MAYA
Gran Cenote It has the particularity of being able to swim through a part of the cave and through an open section, this combination makes you swim through tunnels between the different entrances to the cenote. The outer sections are beautiful due to the powerful nature that surrounds it. Gran Cenote is the main entrance to the Sac Actun System, also known as The White Cave. This is the longest flooded cave on the planet, almost nothing 😉
The beauty of the cenote does not go unnoticed, that is why it is one of the most visited. Being one of the most beautiful near Riviera Maya is very popular. Personally, the busiest cenotes lose a bit of charm, I admit I am very well used and if I can I like to enjoy the wonderful cenotes in the greatest solitude possible. The Grand Cenote is difficult to see alone, but it is so beautiful and special that it is difficult to say no. If you go early you will surely be alone.

HOW TO GET TO GRAN CENOTE FROM TULUM
The cenote is located 4 kilometers from Tulum, on Highway 109 towards Cobá. From Tulum there are buses that go to Cobá, but if you want to go in a practical way, go by taxi. You can stop them on the street or at the stops in Tulum. They price you according to what you want them to wait for you or they just take you. For 150 pesos they should take you in a taxi for 4 people the price is for the entire unit.
It was one of the first that I went, that everyone talks about and you saw some cool photo. The only one that beats it in popularity in Riviera Maya is cenote Dos Ojos, which shares the same particularity as Gran Cenote: outdoor sections and the possibility of swimming with your head all the time out of the water through tunnels of the cave, something very beautiful to experience in a cenote. That also makes both cenotes unique in this area.
I hope you enjoy the place very much, remember to take care of the environment as much as possible and go through the shower before entering to bathe.

Good morning, could you provide me with a telephone number to be able to communicate with you please ...
Now I communicate with you via mail.
Hello Sandra, I travel to Cancun with family for February of the 2018, it would be our first visit, I have seen many tours I loved this cenote, the safest thing is that I rent a car, you could tell me how to get there from Cancun, and that other activities not so faces like xcaret, could it be?
Hello Flor, I hope you have a great time around here.
To go to Grand Cenote from Cancun is very simple, the federal highway 307 links Cancun with Tulum. Once you get to Tulum you should go to Cobá, immediately you see the cenote. More proposals could be: Akumal, Yal-Kú, lagoon Kaan L'uum, Punta lagoon, snorkel in Puerto Morelos, go to Isla Mujeres ... if you go with children or teenagers are good places to visit.
You can find all these proposals in the blog.
Warm regards,
Hi . You could inform me how to get there by public transport. I'm in Playa del Carmen and from here to Tulum, I go by bus. Once I get to tulum, how do I continue to get to the big cenote?
Hello Florence,
Once in Tulum, tell the driver to leave you at the corner to go to Coba, you almost certainly have to go by taxi because few centenaries pass to Grand Cenote. They have official prices, I do not know if it was like in 150 pesos the journey.
Regards,
Good morning, for September I will go with my two children from 12 and 15 years. Is it possible to go by public transport to Tulum, get off at the corner to go to Coba (as mentioned above) and from there walk to the cenote? I ask to know if the area is not dangerous or if the distance is too long.
From already thank you very much
Hi Guillermo,
From the corner of Coba to the cenote I recommend you take a taxi. Collectives barely pass in that direction, and the scarce 4 kilometers are eternal under this heat and walking on the shoulder of the road, is not an attractive idea. Taxis have fixed fares, you can reach an agreement so that they can return you to Tulum and take the bus back.
Have fun ?
