Scuba Dive in Underwater Caves

cenote-azul-bacalar

In midst of trees and brightly colored plants lies Cenote Azul, the perfect spot to swim, scuba dive through underwater caves, or snorkel. It is an open, lagoon-shaped cenote pool tucked into exuberant vegetation. Plunge into its mazes of roots, stones, and rock formations. There is a handicraft shop, restaurant, and lookout point at the entrance.

Where

At the edge of the road, just at the entrance to Bacalar.

Useful Information
