Yesterday’s Hidden Gem: A Private Cenote Adventure Near Playa del Carmen

Yesterday, 23 April 2025 we explored a brand-new route deep in the jungle—just 20 minutes from Playa del Carmen and another 20 minutes along a well-kept road recently improved for Maya Train access.

At the end of the road, we found something truly special: a completely private cenote, part of a family inheritance carefully preserved by its owner. He prefers to keep it limited, not for tourists, but for those who respect nature and seek a real connection with it.

Once inside the property, we had everything needed to prepare for a magical experience. Two beautifully lit cenotes welcomed us, perfect for swimming or taking that first deep breath. But the real adventure lies deeper—into darker chambers that invite mystery and exploration. 

We brought waterproof lamps to reveal ancient formations, submerged roots, and the resilient aquatic life thriving in silence.

From floating peacefully to diving into the depths, every moment was pure magic. We observed the natural creation of the cenote, its rock formations, and even the plants fighting to survive with limited sunlight. Whether you love swimming, snorkeling, freediving, or underwater photography, this place offers a canvas for all.

And the best part? there was no one else, just us.You will have an experience  with no groups, no crowds, no rush. Just nature, water, and you.

We had such a great time that we’ve decided to include this location in our private tours only. It’s a place we truly love, and we’re excited to share it with those who feel the same.

🌊 Not a tour—just you and the cenote.
