Siete Bocas cenote is located closest to Cancun. It is an ecological park today. You will have to go up the stairs through a small opening in the rock to get in here. You will be in warm water and darkness. Dim light comes in through cracks in the ceiling rock. Flocks of fish will surround you. You will visit the adjacent caves afterward. You can explore the stalactites and stalagmites there.

Go on a Visit to the Whale Sharks

Whale sharks from 10 to 13 meters long come to the coast of Isla Mujeres in the summer months. You can swim among these huge fish here. Sharks feed on plankton. They have no teeth.
