Cenote snorkeling, Playa del Carmen, Mexico
The next day we caught a colectivo from Playa del Carmen. They depart from Calle 2, roughly between Avenida 20 and Avenida 25. Colectivos were leaving about every 5 minutes, and cost $2.50 U.S. or less up to Tulum. We were dropped off just past Hidden Worlds cenote. Tours were at 9am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm, though I think if you show up with enough people, they’ll form an impromptu group. We signed up for the longest tour, cajoled our way into full suits (generally reserved for scuba divers), and soon were joined by some Canadians, an Argentinian and a German woman, who just so happened to live in Austin. We visited Tak Be Ha and Hilario’s Well. Hilario’s well had been opened to visitors since we’d been there previous and was more enclosed, and had a wide variety of speliotherms.
