Freshness: 2026-08-28. Admission, hours and access should still be confirmed before you go.
Why choose it
The experience is the reason to go.
Calavera is more playful than serene. Visitors enter through a large central opening or smaller holes in the limestone, giving the cenote its skull-like appearance and making the entry itself part of the attraction. It is best for confident swimmers who want something memorable and close to Tulum.
