Gran Cenote is a popular cenote located just outside of Tulum. The cenote is known for its crystal-clear waters and is a popular spot for snorkeling and diving. It is also surrounded by lush vegetation and wildlife, making it a beautiful and peaceful place to hang out.

The cenote features a large pool of water with several smaller pools and underwater caves for exploration. Snorkelers and divers can swim among schools of fish and observe the unique underwater rock formations. You can also take a break from swimming and relax on the benches or explore the surrounding jungle.

If you want a hassle-free snorkeling or diving experience – check out our vetted tours from Tulum in the links section (both group and private).

Cenotes are unique to the Yucatán peninsula with the name "cenote" coming from the Mayan word "dzonot" which means "well". Cenotes were considered sacred by the ancient Mayan people and were used for both ceremonial and practical purposes such as a source of drinking water.
