Cenotes are one of the most stunning places Tulum owns! Imagine that the Yucatan Peninsula is home to over 6,000 cenotes, and Tulum is part of it. The cenotes were sacred places to communicate with the Chaac, god of rain. The Mayans devoted great importance to the ritual of offerings to the Chaac to have abundant water for their crops. With so many to choose from, you can spend an entire holiday exploring the gorgeous cenotes in the area. Here, we have compiled nineteen cenotes worth visiting in Tulum and nearby.

As you can observe, Tulum has so many options for travelers, and cenotes are a gift from mother nature, so preserving them is needed.

We have some excellent vacation rentals situated close to cenotes that you can access by foot or by bike easily. Those options are ideal for explorers who want to get close to nature during their holiday.
