Cenote Swimming


Part of our tour included swimming in a cenote.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but I certainly didn't think it would be so developed and crowded.  As we got there, so did a bunch of other tour buses.  It was a bit crazy.  We didn't have much time there, so we hurried and changed, went down some underground steps, and jumped in.  The water was pretty cold, but felt really good after a minute.

It really was beautiful!


 After swimming I hurried and took a couple of pictures.  See the insane crowd?  People were lining up to jump off that higher area, but everyone was being scaredy and slow (not Cal, he just walked up and jumped, and I didn't jump from up there).  Hardly any Americans, mostly Europeans.

The water was a beautiful color of blue and there were little fish swimming all over in there.  It was fun to float on your back and look up.


Waterfalls and vines all around the sides.
