Cenotes and waterfalls
Here is THE favorite of the editorial staff, and of most travelers who have surveyed Mexico elsewhere: the cenotes ! Abyss filled with water, fresh or salty, allowing regular swimming in a well of light lost in the middle of nature, the cenotes represent natural escape at all costs.
If you’re planning on touring the Mexican cenotes, we recommend planning ahead. Indeed, the Mexican territory has more than… 10,000! Here is an anthology of the most famous cenotes, which you will discover through these most beautiful photos of Mexico.
