Cenote Aldea Zama

Cenotes

Cenote Aldea Zama is a small public cenote within the Aldea Zama district of Tulum town on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a karst sinkhole with free access that draws mainly local visitors rather than tour groups, and can become crowded as a result. No depth, diameter or further descriptive detail beyond its town location and free access is given in available sources. This entity documents Cenote Aldea Zama specifically as a geological formation, a small in-town karst sinkhole distinct from the many rural and tour-operated cenotes already documented on this atlas.
