Cenote Jaguar is one of the best cenotes in Tulum in our guide to cenotes in Mexico.
What it is like
Jaguar is a small open pool in the jungle of Parque Dos Ojos. It has bright, clear water, a zipline that drops you into the cenote and two jumping platforms. Small fish gather near the edges, so a mask is worth bringing.
Combine it with Dos Ojos and Nicte-Ha
Many park tours visit three cenotes in one day: Dos Ojos for cavern snorkeling, Nicte-Ha for water lilies and Jaguar for jumping and the zipline. Jaguar is the most playful of the three and works well as the last stop.
Good for families
The platforms are low and life jackets are available, so older children can join in. Watch little ones near the edge, as the water gets deep quickly.
