Cenote Cristalino, Natural sinkhole in Solidaridad, Mexico
Located 25 kilometers south of Playa del Carmen, Cenote Cristalino combines open-air swimming areas with partial cave sections containing underwater rock formations.
The limestone bedrock of the Yucatan Peninsula eroded over thousands of years due to underground river systems, forming numerous freshwater-filled sinkholes across the region.
The ancient Maya people considered cenotes as sacred portals to the underworld, using these natural water formations for ceremonial offerings and water collection.
The cenote operates daily from 8 AM to 6 PM, with entrance fees of 150 pesos for children and 200 pesos for adults, including access to restrooms.
A designated cliff jumping platform allows visitors to leap into the deep waters, while separate areas provide opportunities for swimming and observing fish species.
