Laguna Kaan Luum

Laguna de Kaan Luum

A pale green lagoon hides a deep blue cenote at its center. The striking color contrast, plus the wooden boardwalk and water swings, makes it a photo hotspot.

Laguna de Kaan Luum lies in the jungle about a 15-minute drive south of Tulum. Most of the lake is only waist-deep, clear and pale green, but at its center is a natural cenote dozens of meters deep, forming a striking dark blue circle. Visitors can walk out along a wooden boardwalk, paddle in the shallows, or take photos on a swing; the deep section is roped off and may not be entered. Tickets must be paid in cash. Facilities are simple, with changing rooms. Regular sunscreen is banned. Early morning is the least crowded time.
