The Coolest Place We've Ever Swam | S02E13
March 22, 2018 by Sailing Project Atticus | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:14 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
After spending a couple of months heads down in sewing and fiberglass work while living in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, we both decided it was time to take a break from the darker side of cruising to remind ourselves about the rewards of working our butts off in a new country.
So we took a long weekend to explore Merida, the cultural center of the Yucatan while Desiree’s mom visited us to celebrate her birthday.
In this episode we finally get to swim in a Cenote, which we’ve been looking forward to for years!
Cenotes are (mostly) fresh-water underground caves, which in many cases actually link up to form the largest underwater cave system in the world (215 miles long!).
Cenote is the mayan word for “sacred well”. The Mayans built complex structures to tap into these large quantities of fresh water to sustain their civilizations. They also used some cenotes as sacrificial burials or as punishment for wrong-doing.
It’s beyond words to explain the blue, clear, fresh feeling of diving into one of these hidden gems! There are over 6,000 cenotes in the Yucatan- some are small holes in farmers’ backyards, some are monetized by huge corporations that sport zip lines and fancy underwater lighting, some are local joints for kids and families to spend their dia de descanso (day off) cooling down, and some are abandoned and overgrown holes in the jungle.
Our first Cenote (Cuzama) is still our favorite Cenote of all time. Because it’s so hard to get to, it’s still relatively untouched. We had it almost 100% to ourselves!

We're Jordan and Desiree! Our newest crew member is Captain Oso. We spent 6 years restoring and sailing on our 30 foot sailboat, "Atticus I". We made it as far as Panama, when we decided to upgrade to "Atticus II", our larger, more reliable family sailboat. We are now heading towards the Mediterranean to start our sailboat family!
