Gran Cenote, a popular natural swimming hole near Tulum, Mexico, is highly accessible by taxi, colectivo, or rental car, though its steps down to the water make it unsuitable for wheelchairs. Visitors can easily enjoy a solo visit, renting snorkel gear on-site, or opt for a guided tour for convenience. Open year-round, it's best visited during the dry season (November-April) for optimal water clarity and visibility, though it can get crowded; arriving early is recommended. The approximate cost is around 500-600 MXN for entry, with additional fees for rentals like snorkel equipment and lockers. A typical visit duration ranges from 1 to 2 hours, allowing ample time for swimming, snorkeling among fish and turtles, and exploring the stunning rock formations. Remember to use biodegradable sunscreen, bring a towel, and prepare for refreshingly cool waters.
