Cenote Ponderosa/Jardin Del Eden

500mxn entry fee

Cenote El Jardín de Edén (aka Ponderosa) is an open cenote, complete with convenient diver-only stairs leading you down to a sizable wooden platform. The dive starts in the snorkel area of Cenote Edén, full of fish & huge moss-covered rocks. We’ll navigate through a wide tunnel until we reach Cenote Corral where you’ll be rewarded with some of the most beautiful light rays in Quintana Roo.

Following the curve of Cenote Corral, you’ll swim through the mystical halocline and enjoy light rays, fallen tree branches, and speleothems. You’re likely to spot Ciclid, Cenote Molly, Mesoamerican Slider Turtles, & blue lobster during this cenote dive. Remember to bring your camera, you’ll want to capture the light rays that this dive is famous for!

If you’re brave enough, you can also jump off the large tree on the jumping platform after our dive 🤘🏽

There are bathrooms and outdoor showers to rinse on site before entering the water
