There are literally thousands of places to visit in Riviera Maya. You would need at least months to visit them all. Fortunately, the excellent location of Sereno, allows you to enjoy plenty of activities located just a few minutes away.Cenote Azul is slightly smaller compared to similar Cenotes in the area, but a great one to visit. Be sure to get there early because once the area gets too full, the entrance gets cut off. The grounds are well maintained: with a great jump off point and a wooden lounging deck located just above the cenote. To make the swim even more interesting, bring your own mask or rent one onsite and snorkel to get the experience of being in a live aquarium. With Cenote Azul as home to a large quantity of local fish species, this makes it a great place to snorkel.
Snorkel right off our beach and see the second largest living coral reef on the planet (the Great Mayan Reef System) only surpassed by the Great Barrier Reef.
The Great Mayan Reef, also called Meso-american Barrier Reef System, is located off the coasts of Cancun and the Mayan Riviera. It stretches more than 620 miles which makes it the second largest reef in the world, only the Great Barrier Reef of Australia is bigger.
The wonderful Mayan Reef is born at Cabo Catoche, on the north of Quintana Roo, and extends to the coasts of Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. This sub-marine paradise is one of the hot spots in the world to scuba dive and snorkeling thanks to the other worldly transparency of the Mexican Ca -ribbean, allowing sunlight to reach great depths. This biodi-versity jewel hosts an enormous amount of organisms in more than 65 mixes of coral and 500 fish species, including lobster, pink snail, white, hawksbill and caguama turtles, dol-phins and whale sharks.
