Dos Ojos, «Two Eyes», is a pair of neighbouring natural sinkholes of clear water in the Yucatán jungle. Transparent blue water lies beneath a rock ceiling hung with stalactites, with shafts of sunlight falling through openings in the stone. They are entrances to a flooded cave system first explored in 1987 and still being mapped. Its surveyed length is 82 km, with 28 known entrances called cenotes. In 2018 it was found to connect to the Sac Actun system, becoming part of the longest known underwater cave system in the world. It holds the deepest known cave passage in Quintana Roo, at 119 m. Visitors swim and snorkel in the two pools, while trained divers go into the caves with a guide among the rock columns. The water is cool and extremely clear. It is about 15 km in a straight line northeast of Tulum. Do not wear sunscreen before swimming, to protect the water, and only enter the caves with a dive guide.
