The entrance and exit of the underground rivers to the cenotes often lead to caverns, an underwater world which looks like an immense cathedral or tunnel. 

They are often filled with stalactites and stalagmites of different width and height; some are less than a foot long while others are well over 60 feet in length. 

Anyone who ventures into this incredible world will feel as though they are flying through space: the current is almost imperceptible, there is no movement, no noise and no sensation of weight, gravity or resistance. 

Unlike diving in the ocean, the visibility seems to be endless; the water is crystal clear and with the light from the cenote entrance, the surroundings acquire an intense blue color.

There are also two parks along the coast, perfect for a day of adventure. Xcaret is an eco-archaeological amusement park that offers a great array of activities, from floating in underground rivers or swimming with the dolphins to cultural events during the evening. Xel-Ha, further south, is an incredible natural aquarium famous for snorkeling and swimming.
