Uncover The Secrets Of Rio Secreto Nature Reserve
Riviera Maya Cenote

For those who can’t get enough of Riviera Maya’s awe-inspiring limestone caves and cenotes, consider taking a trip to Rio Secreto Nature Reserve. This cave system has about 38 kilometers of caves, and while only a fraction of that can be explored by the general public, it is still a wonderful experience.

This protected nature reserve is a short drive from Playa Del Carmen, making it a perfect day trip for you and also great for the family. You can hike and swim in these hidden underground cenotes. Because this cave system is so well-protected, you can marvel at the many stalactites and stalagmites that extend from the walls like stone icicles while you float in the sapphire waters below.

A trip to Rio Secreto is truly the ultimate limestone cave experience in Riviera Maya, which is saying a lot for a place with seemingly-endless caves and cenotes.
