If I can't pronounce "cenote" correctly for a Playa local, I'll just cross my legs, point to my crotch, make an agonized face, and say "Oooooo!! Oooooo!!"



(Hey, it worked at Tulum when I needed a bathroom. Maybe it'll help a taxi driver find a cenote for us??? Okay. Maybe not. But at least I'll know where the closest bathroom is.)

Ummmm... doesn't "cenote" translate to "sinkhole"? Are you suuuuure that's where you want to be pointing when asking for that?

No problemo.

Anyway, there's probably a sign at the edge saying:

"We don't swim in your bano, so don't pee in our cenote."
