Swimming in a cenote (a natural spring-fed sinkhole) is a must-do when visiting Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. During this half-day tour from Playa del Carmen, you will venture into the jungle to Cenote Nohoch Nah Chich and enjoy a refreshing dip in its pristine, turquoise water beneath a canopy of stalactites and jungle vines. Afterwards, transfer to Akumal Beach for a swim above the ground to spot sea turtles coming feeding on seagrass.
