I’d put Cenote Ik Kil on the list for snorkeling.

More about this place

Cenote Ik Kil is a natural swimming hole located near the famous Mayan ruins of Chichén Itzá. It is a deep, round cenote, with vines and lush vegetation hanging down from the opening at the top of the cenote, which gives it a magical feel.

The cenote has a stairway carved into the limestone that leads down to the water's edge, where you can swim, snorkel, and enjoy the cool, refreshing water. There are also diving platforms for those who want to jump from higher up into the water.

Cenote Ik Kil is a popular tourist attraction and can get quite crowded, especially during peak tourist season. However, it is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and want to experience the beauty of one of Mexico's many natural wonders.
