The cenote Escondido, tucked away in the jungle, is one of the beautiful cenotes near Tulum. It is an open cenote, a fabulous space to continue enjoying the fresh waters of the magnificent Peninsula.

The road that connects the towns of Playa del Carmen and Tulum, the heart of the Riviera Maya, is a real temptation for cenote lovers. Here there are some of the most attractive tourist cenotes such as the Dos Ojos cenote, Ponderosa (Garden of Eden), Great Cenote, Crystalline, Angelita, Manati. On this stretch of road, the hard part is choosing which one to go to.

Los mejores 9 Cenotes near Tulum

Hidden Cenote, Tulum Cenote

Although they are close to the popular Tulum and you can go by public transport or bicycle, it does not mean that you will meet many people. The largest number of tourists move on organized excursions, and these cenotes are not on tourist circuits, so you can easily find yourself alone in Cenote Escondido. For those of us who appreciate the luxuries of tranquility, it is a great factor to consider.

Cenote Escondido, a few 3 kilometers south of Tulum, shares entrance with the Cenote Cristal. Each of them is located on the side of the road. The payment booth for both is in the jungle or inland side. The other side is the sea side, to understand us.

The road to the Escondido cenote runs from the main road about 2 kilometers through the jungle, and enters a mangrove area, indicating that the waters of the Caribbean are nearby. The mangrove is the catalyst and protector of the natural life in the Peninsula. The landscape of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, very close to Cenote Escondido, is very mangrove.

Cenote Escondido services

In Cenote Escondido you will find the basic services: bathrooms, changing tables, tables and striking crystalline waters that will make you feel unique bathing in them.

Enjoy the beautiful nature of the place and be respectful of the environment collecting the garbage you generate, without breaking plants or dedicating yourself to throwing stones at the peaceful iguanas. Unfortunately we have seen everything, it is about educating each other.

Hello,
I just discovered your blog. I have put it among my favorites and I will go from time to time. I leave mine, in case you want to spend some time (it is not expatriate, although if someday I have to leave, I will open one and I will pass it to you if you want).

I'm loving your blog. It's the first time I write to one. And I have already visited 7 faraway destinations. We were going to the middle of August. We are two women and we doubted about safety, driving ... Also the security of contracting transport from the airport to Tulum, and the prices, which vary greatly in websites.
All the tips or links in this regard I will thank you.
Yes, we take our own glasses, snorkel tube.

  hahaha hello Patricia, girls ready with glasses and snorkel, that aims well 🙂
  I'm going to leave you some links so you can familiarize yourself with the doubts that you pose: https://www.elcaminomascorto.es/consejos-conducir-peninsula-yucatan/ https://www.elcaminomascorto.es/transporte-desde-el-aeropuerto-de-cancun/ https://www.elcaminomascorto.es/alquilar-coche-en-riviera-maya/
  About transfers from the airport, which I recommend have good prices and are good professionals, at least I have no complaints. You can also take the ADO bus to Tulum, according to the time of arrival. Regarding road safety, in 11 years of living here, moving quite by car, many times alone, I have not had any incident. Obvious things happen as everywhere, but the Peninsula to travel by car I consider safe, no doubt.
  Any information that you can not find tell me and I try to help you.
  Good path Patricia, enjoy this land 🙂
