We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
This half-day adventure takes you to a protected jungle sanctuary just minutes from Playa del Carmen, home to five semi-covered cenotes with crystal-clear blue water. Few guides are authorised to enter, so the atmosphere stays calm and authentic; far from the crowded cenotes of the Riviera Maya. You will begin at the sacred Jaguar Cenote, then swim, float and explore four more cenotes at an easy pace, from a small cenote lit by a single opening in the rock to the spectacular Roots Cenote, with hanging roots, a jumping platform and stalactites. The day ends with a well-deserved lunch back in Playa del Carmen.

You join a genuinely all-inclusive day: transport from Playa del Carmen, cenote and safety equipment, entrance fees and lunch are already covered, so you are not juggling add-ons at the jungle gate. We keep groups small and use access into a protected sanctuary that most day tours never reach, which means calmer water and room to swim instead of queuing at crowded public cenotes.
Professional local guides lead every step; federally certified guides join whenever an archaeological site is part of the route. We ask you to skip sunscreen in the water, stick to eco-friendly repellent and support nearby communities through how we operate. Before you travel and after you get home, we stay in touch on WhatsApp so meeting details, what to bring and any questions never feel left hanging.
No prior swimming experience is required to enjoy this activity. Life jackets are provided for safety in all cenotes, and guides are present to assist if needed. Swimming is at a relaxed pace suitable for beginners and families.
The depth of each cenote varies, but even non-swimmers can enjoy the water and take part in the experience with confidence. The pace of the day allows for plenty of breaks to ensure everyone feels comfortable.
All five cenotes are inside a protected jungle property where only a few guides are authorised to enter, so it is far quieter than the popular public cenotes. You may occasionally share a cenote with another small group; our guides time the visit so you can enjoy each cenote as calmly as possible.
