The Magic of Mexico’s Cenotes

The Yucatán Peninsula is packed with cenotes – there are more than 6,000 of these naturally formed swimming holes located throughout the area. Located just a short distance from Tulum and the Barceló Maya Grand Resort, the Gran Cenote is perhaps the ultimate cenote, offering crystal clear blue water, otherworldly rock formations and colorful marine life.

Mayan Heritage on the Riviera Maya
