Cenote Calavera — Attraction in Quintana Roo

Just so I can give a clear update as to what the price and times are for this place. The coast is 100mxn which is around $7 Canadian NOT 50mxn like on some websites...(unless I got the foreigners price). And the times it closes is 4:00PM not 5:00PM like google has. I tried to change it I'm not sure if it's going to be in effect but don't be fooled if you go there before 4pm and expect to be there for more than an hour. Truth of the matter is you probably only will spend about an hour there anyways. The whole is definitely cool and you can see everything once you are in the water. Also as for the amount of people for me there was more people when I got there at 10am then when I left around 11:30am/12. By the time we left which was around noon the water was completely empty of people. This could have been because of the day I went which was a Monday or maybe the season.... March. All I'm saying is when it comes to the times it's hit or miss and I believe most people have the same idea and want to get early before the crowds but the truth is no matter what time you get there you will most likely have a crowd. Not big maybe about 15 to 20 people but there was no issues jumping in the water and asking if people can move. Most people were scared jumping anyways. Either way it is fun and you'll have some great pics. I didn't give it a 5 because it simply isn't absolutely amazing and I'm not going to hype it up like it's an absolute must when in Tulum. It is cheaper then some cenotes but then again.... Some are free, you just have to know. Enjoy my friends and swim inside to see all the really cool bats sleeping in...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cenote Calavera is straight-up 🔥🔥🔥

Bro. This place? Insane. I pulled up not really expecting much—thought it was just another hole in the ground with water. Nah. This is like Mother Nature went full send.

First off, the jump?? Wild. There’s these little holes in the rock (they look like a skull when you see it from above—kinda spooky but dope), and you can straight yeet yourself into the water. I was lowkey nervous but YOLO’d it and man, worth it. Water smacked like ice but in a good way 😮‍💨

The vibe is immaculate. No big crowds when I went, just chill people, jungle sounds, and the occasional bat flying overhead like it’s Batman’s vacation home or something 🦇

Some real ones-only tips: • Pull up early so you don’t have to deal with tour bus mobs • No sunscreen or bug spray before hopping in (keep it clean for the nature, ya feel?) • Bring a snorkel if you got one, it’s mad clear under there • If you’re not jumping in, what are you even doing???

Honestly, this ain’t just a swim spot, it’s a whole ✨experience✨. Felt like I was in an uncharted level of Tomb Raider but with way better drip and no quick-time events 😂

Would def go back. Bring your squad, take some fire pics, and just vibe out. Calavera’s a certified...

I have one bad and one good thing to say about this place. The bad: Don't come with an expectation of a relaxing/private or close-to-nature experience. I did (after visiting other, very different cenotes), and I was initially very disappointed with the crowdedness and how the park managers had surrounded the cenote with sun chairs. There's always people around, watching others, and some waiting to get in the water.

The good: Once I adjusted my expectations and went to swim, I ended up having so much fun. I loved jumping through the small hole into the cave water below, and from the edge of the big opening. I floated on my back inside the cave portion, and looked at the bats chilling upside down from the ceiling. I played in the water for several hours, and in the end, felt good about having come here. And although the chairs around the cenote made the place feel less natural, they also mean everyone has a place to sit, and you can comfortably spend half a day here.

I think it is worth a visit, but a bit expensive for what it is at 250 pesos entry. Also, bring your own drinks, because one beer at the kiosk...
