It is perfect for families because the lagoon is endless and the area is very safe.

One of the best cenotes in Tulum is Dos Ojos.
Dos Ojos translates to ‘Two Eyes'. It is named this way because there are two 70-meter (230 ft) sinkholes that are connected through a passageway.
This cenote is a great place to swim and hang around for a few hours, it is located 30 minutes northeast from Tulum.
The cost to visit is $200 pesos or about $14 USD, and you can rent snorkeling equipment for an additional $100 pesos.
If you have a diving certificate, you can even go diving through the mystical caves, which are around 61 km long! This experience is well worth it.
I recommend getting to Cenote Dos Ojos early in the morning so you can have the place to yourself. The morning light also reflects through one of the cenotes, which helps with bringing out the vibrant blue colors.
