Skip the crowded beach clubs and hire one of the horse-drawn trucks to hit three distinct cenotes. The ride on rickety train tracks through the jungle feels like a low-budget action movie set. Spend four hours total. Bring your own snorkel gear to avoid the gross rentals and definitely tip the driver well. You jump into freezing, crystal-clear water in semi-enclosed caves. Go early to beat the van tours or you will regret it.
