Cenote Zapote
Cenote Zapote is truly one-of-a-kind. Located on the “Ruta de los Cenotes” west of Puerto Morelos, this cenote is named after the zapote trees nearby. This cenote is nicknamed “Hells Bells” because its biothem formations look like bells, which can only be found in a few surrounding cenotes.
Biothems are geological formations that are composed of the accumulated remains of living organisms. That’s right, these bell formations are alive and continue to grow ever so slowly.
This cenote is shaped like an hourglass with the center located 20m/66ft deep. In the lower chamber, you’ll see the impressive bell formations covering the ceiling. There is a hydrogen sulfide cloud around 30m deep just above the talus cone.

Cenote Kin-Ha
Cenote Kin-Ha is also located on the “Ruta de los Cenotes” and has bell formations like at Zapote. We’ll walk down wooden steps that take us underground to a highly decorated air dome. Holes in the ceiling provide beautiful light beams that penetrate deep underwater. This cylinder shaped cenote has a really cool formation at the bottom and bell formations, unique flowstones and stalactites along the cenote walls. We can also jump into the cenote after the dive through the hole in the ceiling!
