About this audio guide
This guide to Gran Cenote near Tulum follows Robert Schmittner, an explorer who spent fourteen years searching these flooded tunnels for a hidden connection between two mapped cave systems, Sac Actun and Dos Ojos. It traces his years of dead ends beneath the very water you are floating in, and the ancient life the same submerged passages have quietly kept intact. Best explored slowly, mask down, hugging the walls where the stalactite columns rise.
