Cenote La Noria, Puerto Morelos

Amazing experience at this tucked away cenote. We were a little leery of the one lane road, but our little Chevy Aveo made it without any issues. The road is about 1.5 miles, FYI. Upon arrival, we paid our 300 pesos per person and were given a tour. There are three entrances to the cenote ranging from easy to a 7 m cliff jump. This was our second cenote in our favorite for the overall experience. The water was crystal clear and refreshing, and not too cold. The platform in the middle is solid and allows you to set your stuff there while you explore the cave. We spent an hour in the water and exploring, then headed up. Once we were up top, we couldn’t help but notice the amazing smells coming from the small kitchen and cook area that we passed on the way in. We checked on the menu and sat down for lunch. Four kinds of tacos at about 20 pesos each and a good sized plate of nachos for 100 pesos allowed us to try everything. We had to have seconds of the oven roasted pork but it was all really good! If you don’t like onions, make sure to ask for the nachos without them. Otherwise enjoy with a cold beer or soda! We would definitely return to the cenote in the future!

Getting to this place is an adventure on its own. It feels like taking a nice walk in a forest, but by car. That's probably why it's safe from most tour groups. I had the place for myself for two hours in the morning. Really beautiful.
