Casa Cenote

Cenote Manatí

A river-like cenote ringed by mangroves, connected to the sea through an underground passage. Where fresh and salt water meet, it's ideal for snorkeling and beginner diving.

Casa Cenote, also known as Cenote Manatí, lies on the Tankah coast north of Tulum. It is a long, open waterway enclosed by mangroves, connected underground to the sea only about 100 meters away. Fresh and salt water mix here, creating a striking 'halocline' effect. The water is shallow and calm, making it great for snorkeling among schools of fish, mangrove roots, and the occasional small creature. It is also a popular spot for beginner cave diving. Entry tickets must be purchased. Snorkel gear and kayaks can be rented. Regular sunscreen is not allowed.
