Robbie Schmittner considers the Monkey Dust Cenote (Dos Pisos) cave system one of the Riviera Maya’s most beautiful. If you’re looking to explore fascinating places in the region, it’s a hidden gem worth visiting.
Monkey Dust is one of five cenotes in the Dos Pisos cave system. This unique marvel spans 46,509 ft (14,176 m) and reaches a maximum depth of 80 ft (24.4 m). Additionally, it’s home to five distinct cenotes: Balam, Dos Pisos, Dos Pisos Norte, this cenote, and Cenote Zooz. When adventurers mention remarkable locations, this system always stands out as a must-see.
