A cenote is a natural pit, or sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath.
-Cenote Saamal-
Located at Hacienda Selva Maya outside the city center of Valladolid, Mexico. This open air cenote is surrounded by pristine, tropical jungle. Open to the sky, this natural pool is surrounded by high walls and entry is via many steps down to water level.
-Cenote Xkeken-
The cavern itself is humid and steamy, but the water is cool–most of the waters fresh waters under the Yucatan stay at a constant 76 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) year-round–and stunningly clear. With small bats nesting on the ceiling, small black fish in the water, and limestone formations overhanging the water.
-Cenote Samula-
Cavern pool with álamo roots stretching down many meters from the middle of the ceiling to drink from the source.
