Cenote Escondido sits across the road from Cenote Cristal on the coastal road south of Tulum town on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a karst sinkhole cenote fitted with a rope for jumping into the water. As with its neighbor, available sources describe little beyond its swimming and jumping use, with no depth or diameter figure given. This entity documents Cenote Escondido specifically as a geological formation, a common Spanish name meaning hidden cenote, shared by many unrelated cenotes across the Yucatan but referring here specifically to the Tulum roadside site.
