Laguna de Kaan Luum, Freshwater lagoon near Tulum, Mexico.

The Kaan Luum Lagoon spans across multiple acres, featuring shallow green waters around its perimeter and a deep blue cenote at its center.

The limestone bedrock formation of the lagoon dates back millions of years, creating a natural sinkhole system characteristic of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Local Mayan communities have long recognized cenotes as sacred water sources, with Kaan Luum serving as a natural gathering place for generations.

The entrance fee of 300 pesos grants access to basic facilities, including restrooms, wooden platforms, and hammocks for visitors to use throughout the day.

At the heart of the lagoon lies an 80-meter-deep cenote, creating a stark color contrast between the turquoise shallows and the dark blue depths.
