Cenote Cristal lies along the coastal road south of Tulum town on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a karst sinkhole cenote with a platform built out over the water for jumping in. Available sources describe little beyond its swimming and jumping use; no depth, diameter or formation history beyond its shared Yucatan karst origin is given. This entity documents Cenote Cristal specifically as a geological formation, one of several individually named cenotes strung along the same short stretch of road south of Tulum.
