Today we went to a cenote called Dos Ojos on our way to Playa del Carmen. We had been there last time we were in the area but I can’t remember anything from that visit. A cenote is basically a pond resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock. They tend to have very clear water but very few fish. Dos Ojos is particularly interesting because it really looks like it has sunk deep into the earth and it’s also connected to a huge flooded cave system. This makes it really cool to snorkel in. It’s like exploring a cave and snorkeling at the same time! With strong flashlights, you can see bizarre rock formations everywhere, above and below the surface. We almost didn’t go but I’m very glad we did.

It felt adventurous to snorkel in tight cavern spaces where we needed to be careful not to scrape or bump our heads. Also fun was watching the scuba divers lighting up areas further away from us and coming through narrow cave passages. We could have stayed in there longer but the cold water temperatures forced us to stop.
