Cenote Multum-Ha: hot, humid, and mysterious

Multum Ha Cenote is located in the jungle, less than a 10-minute drive from the Coba Archaeological Site. A wide wooden deck with many stairs leading into the water, as well as a platform where tourists can leap into the water, can be found inside the cenote. Without a natural opening, the cenote becomes extremely humid and hot. The air is circulated by fans, but considering the circumstances, jumping into the water feels even better. With a maximum depth of 30 meters, the water temperature remains constant at 25 degrees Celsius, 77 Fahrenheit.

Multum Ha Cenote: What to expect

The cenote is about 18 meters below, so it will be a unique experience. A small hole in the ground and a palapa mark the start of a fantastic adventure. Begin by descending a spiral staircase to a lovely tunnel that will lead you to the Cenote Multum- Ha.

Its inside is extremely beautiful, with an empty ceiling adorned with big rock formations and completely crystalline blue water that allows you to admire the underwater hill of rocks as well as various sized fish. The cenote is 20 to 55 feet deep, has ropes to grip on to provide added safety while swimming, and a large wooden structure to lie down and rest after snorkeling, swimming, or diving.

Some useful info

A lifeguard is on duty, and life jackets can be rented outside the cenote entrance. Along with Tamcach-Ha and Choo-Ha, these three cenotes have a ticket kiosk at the entrance to the gravel road where you can pay for admission.

Multum Ha cenote is located on a detour towards San Juan de Dios, near the town of Coba. It is well signposted.

HOURS AND SERVICES: open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm daily. There are restrooms and showers at the entrance. They sell food.

ADMISSION PRICE:  100 peso per person.

Are there any public transportation options? There isn’t a lot of public transit to these cenotes. Group transportation to Cobá is provided by Tulum and Valladolid. ADO operates a bus service between Playa del Carmen and Tulum.

What should I bring? Light and airy clothing, a hat, insect repellant, sunscreen, closed and comfortable shoes to avoid mosquito bites, and plenty of water are all good ideas. After swimming, you’ll need a swimsuit and a towel or sarong to dry off. Bringing a snorkeling mask is a smart idea if you want to get the most out of your visit.
