Cenote Tajma-ha – Explore the Hidden Depths<\/h1>\n

Is it Cenote Taj Mahal or Tajma Ha? Actually, it’s both. The original nickname for this wondrous cenote was “the Taj Mahal” amongst local cave divers. The name stuck until one day, an enterprising soul realised that “ha” in Mayan means “water” – thus this brilliant bit of wordplay was born and Cenote Tajma Ha got its new name! There’s a reason why it got its nickname in the first place though:<\/p>\n

This is simply one of the most stunning places to go cenote diving in Puerto Aventuras and the surrounding area. If you go at the right time of year, the light display is truly amazing. But at any time of year, the limestone formations, the maze of tunnels and huge chambers of this linked series of caves are a wondrous sight – even if you’re an experienced cave diver. You’ll find rocks which glow when light reflects on them, fossils, a mesmerising halocline effect and much more during this challenging dive.<\/p>\n

How to get to Cenote Taj Mahal<\/h2>\n

You’ll find Tajma Ha on Highway 307, which leads from Tulum to Playa del Carmen<\/a>. The turning which leads to the cenote is situated about 5 km south of Puerto Aventuras.<\/p>\n
