1. The explorer
Known for its cenotes—natural sinkholes that create magical pools of clear blue water—Tulum is a spelunker’s dream come true. The Yucatan Peninsula has over 6,000 cenotes, with many of these secret pools hidden inside limestone caves. The ancient Maya used cenotes as a water source; today, these spectacular caves offer a breathtaking experience of diving, snorkeling and more. Gran Cenote, just 20 minutes from the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya Resort, is one of Mexico’s largest cenotes. Its blue water is connected to an underground network of rivers, with a large natural pool and plenty of platforms for photo ops.
