Top Caves & Underground Places in Mexico

I think you should skip the overpriced food at the cenote restaurant. Pack a little snack or sandwich before you go; there are picnic areas!

Before heading out, double-check if they have towel rentals available. I forgot to bring mine and had to buy one – not only was it a waste of money, but it was also super inconvenient.

My advice is to wear water shoes. The steps getting down can get slippery, and trust me, you don’t want to take a tumble when you're excited to dive in!

Bring your own snorkel gear. Renting it there costs extra, and honestly, it’s much cooler to explore the water if you have your own stuff.

Bring your own snacks and drinks! The food at the café is a bit pricey. I spent way more than I expected for just a sandwich and a drink

Plan your visit for a weekday if you can. The weekends can get really busy and you’ll have a better experience with less people around.

If you plan to swim, go for a quick dip before 11 am when the sun is not too intense. It’s much more refreshing and less crowded at this time.

Get there right when it opens at 9 am to beat the crowds. It’s way more enjoyable when it’s quieter. I wish I had done this.

I recommend visiting on a weekday instead of the weekend. It was way less crowded for me, and I could really take my time exploring without feeling rushed.

Bring your own snorkel gear if you have it! Rental can be pricey, and the rental gear isn’t always the best quality.

Get there right when they open at 9 AM. You’ll beat the crowds and have more time to enjoy the stunning views without feeling rushed.

Plan for at least two hours to fully enjoy swimming, exploring, and taking photos... I thought I could rush in and out but ended up wishing I had more time!

Don't forget water shoes! The rocky areas can be tough on bare feet, and trust me, you'll want comfortable footwear.

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. The morning light is beautiful, and you'll avoid the crowds – trust me, it gets packed later!

I think if you don’t want to spend too much on food, pack a small picnic. There are plenty of shaded spots to chill after swimming, and the food on-site can be pricey.
