Cenote Multun-Ha, along with Cenote Choo-Ha and Cenote Tamcach-Ha, is in the jungle less than a 10-minute drive from Coba Archaeological Site.  Without a natural opening, it gets very humid and warm inside the cenote. Fans keep air circulating, but the jump into the water feels even nicer given t...

Playa Ligüí south of Loreto is effectively the last public beach on Highway 1 before it heads west over the Sierra de la Gigantes mountains, and while not the pristine white sand beach of other nearby beaches it is still absolutely dramatic with fantastic views of the Sea of Cortez, Danzante Isla...

The site (also spelled Xelha or Xelhá) lies 18km north of central Tulum, and sits on the opposite side of the highway from the commercial outdoor adventure park that shares its name. There are three main groupings of structures inside the site. The Palace Site contains stelae and two large buildi...

Cenotes Hacienda Mucuyché features remains of a 1700’s hacienda and plantation. This property is home to two beautiful cenotes you can swim through. At the property, there are changing rooms, locker rooms, and modern restrooms. The grounds of the property are well kept if you choose to walk aroun...

The tiny fishing village of Puerto Agua Verde has a church, a sometimes open bodega, and two "restaurants" which are rarely open and are exactly what you would picture of a small beach eatery at the end of a dirt road some 60 miles from the nearest gas station. The gorgeous, quarter-mile long bea...

The main entrance follows a wide walkway and stairs leading to a wide platform with benches. The other is harder to find, but it descends a narrow spiral staircase that leads to a small platform near the center of the cenote. A couple small openings in the ceiling allow sunlight to illuminate the...

The cenote is part of the Hacienda San Lorenzo Oxman complex, a center that as of now is still relatively small but clearly aiming for growth in the near future, with bars, a pool lounge area, and campground all present and active construction going on. However, until the tour busses come floodin...

Cenote Car Wash, known locally as Cenote Aktun-Ha, received its name for a time when area cab drivers would park adjacent to the pool to wash their cars. Those times are past, and the cenote today remains under the ownership of a friendly family.  Cenote Car Wash is probably the most reasonably-p...

Nevertheless, Harmony Glamping Tulum appeals to all, combining large furnished tent glamping options with suites for those who prefer a more comfortably luxurious lodging arrangement. The accommodations also include a restaurant and yoga classes, which are open to the public as well as hotel gues...

This 4 mile out and back hike climbs almost 900 feet on the side of the hill North of Playa El Burrro. From the beach the trail is clearly visible as it zig zags up the hill. Once you reach the top, continue right along the rocky spine of the hill for panoramic views of Bahia Concepcion and the s...

This adventure is a life changing 90km (56mi) trail run along the coast of the Sonoran Desert in Mexico. The route takes you from El Desemboque, a small Seri village, to Bahía de Kino, along La Isla del Tiburón (the biggest island in Mexico), through the most amazing landscapes. It will give you...

Upon entering the Punta Laguna Reserve, which lies 20 kilometers north of the Coba traffic roundabout, visitors are given two options. Simple admission grants access to swimming in the large lagoon, walking the trails, and visiting the small museum that explains the species of plants and animals ...

To reach Jalcomulco from Xalapa, you have to take the road Xalapa - Totutla, driving 25 miles you will be in the center of Jalcomulco. Once in the town I recommend purchasing the food and water you'll need, since the climbing zone is a bit isolated and should ideally bring your provisions from th...

With the shallow depth and the clarity of the water, this cenote is popular for snorkeling and is a location for easy dives, with the depth extending to about 8 meters. There is a jumping platform at the edge of the limestone shelf, along with benches and chairs set out on the terraces that surro...

The swimming area is nestled between limestone cliffs and lush jungle, with clear turquoise waters. A small changing room and a few tables and deck are about the only developments around this beautiful swimming hole. The cenote is a popular diving spot, having access into the limestone cave syste...

This hike is really easy to reach from Mexico City. The departure point is a really small roadside town. From there, you can start many different hikes, but one of my favorites is the one that goes to the top of Chichinautzin. You can get to this town only by the freeway Mexico-Cuernavaca. Once ...
