Dos Ojos

The entrance to this popular and famous cenote is located 1 kilometer south of Xel-Ha and approximately 48 km south of Playa del Carmen. A 4 km dirt road leads from the highway to the cavern and cave areas, and the parking lot. The name “Dos Ojos” originated for the two circular-shaped cenotes that are located very close to each other. Dos Ojos, known for its many shallow dives, offers divers plenty of free time to enjoy the beautifully decorated system.

The Dos Ojos cavern dive leads the diver mainly along the opening of the “second eye”, where there is plenty of natural light. It also gives divers plenty of room to swim around huge columns and stalactites. Get ready for some exciting surprises on this dive. Remember to occasionally look towards the entrance for great backlit effects.
