Experience the Wonders of Cenote Cristal

Getting There

• Bicycle

  From Tulum town center, head east on Avenida Tulum until you reach the intersection with Calle Beta. Turn left onto Calle Beta and continue until you hit the main highway (Carretera Federal 307). Turn right and pedal north for about 5 km. Look for the signs for Cenote Cristal, which will be on your left at Km 223.8. The cenote entrance is just off the highway.

• Collectivo (shared van)

  From Tulum town center, walk to the main collectivo station located near the ADO bus station. Look for a collectivo heading toward Playa del Carmen or Cancun. Inform the driver you want to stop at Cenote Cristal. This trip typically takes about 15-20 minutes. The collectivos usually stop directly in front of the cenote entrance, which is located at Km 223.8 on the highway.

• Walking

  Walking to Cenote Cristal is not advisable due to the distance (approximately 6 km from the town center) and the lack of pedestrian paths along the highway. However, if you choose to walk, head north on Avenida Tulum until it becomes Carretera Federal 307. Continue walking along the highway for about 1.5 hours, keeping an eye out for Km 223.8 where the cenote is located. Be cautious of traffic, and it's recommended to start early in the day to avoid the heat.
