[Tulum, Mexico] Day 2 - Grand Cenote Adventure!
Hi Steemians!
As @richardcrill promised, I have the (belated) scoop on our 2nd day adventure in Tulum, Mexico! Sorry it's not exactly timely - I had issues posting on my account in Mexico. Hopefully it works this time!
To start the day off, we biked our sore butts to this amazing coffee shop, Ki bok - they make the best cortados! I had the most amazing chilaquiles - I've seriously eaten my weight in tortilla chips on this trip. They're so much better here - none of that weak, chip breaking off in the salsa kind we have back home.

From there, we mapped out the cenote that we wanted to visit. There are so many cenotes in Tulum, we had a hard time choosing one to go to, but thankfully, some of the locals helped us narrow down to the best ones. The one we chose was called Gran Cenote & it did not disappoint - it was absolutely gorgeous! It was more like two cenotes with a passageway between that you could swim under. The water was cool & crystal clear - exactly what you wanted after biking in this Tulum heat.
The water was freeeeeezing! Hence this facial expression
The cenote was pretty crowded but when you were swimming through the caves, you hardly noticed. So many cool spots to get some hang time! Also, can we just talk about how much @richardcrill looks like a merman?
We swam in the cenotes for a couple of hours and biked back to Tulum. This is us pre-sunburn!
The rest of the days festivities included going out to the best mojito bar in the city, Batey's on Centauro Sur & eating not once, but twice that evening. I'm pretty sure I went to bed at a ridiculously early time - a full belly and a day full of biking/swimming will do that to you! Follow @richardcrill for Day 3 as we visit the Dos Ojos Cenote & the Tulum Mayan ruins on the beach!
Adios, amigos!
Well I'm absolutely jealous.
I saw a BIG lizard starring at the camera on the 2nd to last photo!
Whoah! I hadn't even noticed that!
It's camouflage.
I actually almost grabbed one when i was hanging from stalactites in the cenote
They don't bite right?
Or dangerous?
I saw a guy holding a huge one and letting others hold it and they were all over some of the ruins. They never seemed threatening in the least but I ddin't hold one.
That's hilarious! We were totally taking selfies while sitting on that ledge and turns out there was a giant lizard right behind us haha good eye!
Thanks! I guess that proves I am NOT a bot!
:D
Rad post , great pics thanks for posting. I dig the tulum cruiser. I plan on traveling there one day. Enjoy
Thanks, @nickgee! I hope you do get to go! The food is amazing & the people of Tulum are so nice! We already want to go back and do all the stuff we didn't have time to do.
Living LIFE Nice ;)
These crypto earnings go a lot further in mexico!
I bet! I had a family member who use to live out there for awhile. I guess it was cheap cuz he was living in some huge palace type place and they ain't got money like that ;)
Those Chilaquiles look delicious!
There were soooo good! All of the food in Mexico was amazing!
