Cenote Angelita

Cenote Angelita is a deep cenote just south of Tulum. The name means “little angel” in English. The cenote is most known as a diving cenote but you can also stop by for a swim if you would like.

From the parking lot this cenote is a short walk into the woods. The shape is circular and from the photo below you can see almost the entire cenote.

What makes Cenote Angelita unique is the depth. The maximum depth here is 60 meters. This makes it interesting for experience divers to decent into. (If you are looking to dive while in the Rivera Maya, see our article on the best dive shops in Playa Del Carmen). You will even pass through a hydrogen sulfate layer which separates the fresh water from the salt water.
