Mexican Cenotes
Let’s Go Underground!
A cenote is a
deep natural pit, or sinkhole, characteristic of Mexico, resulting from the collapse
of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. Cenotes are associated with the Yucatan
Peninsular and some nearby Caribbean islands….
BUT
they are so much more that that. In Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsular there
are hundreds of kilometers of explored and mapped cave systems linked to the
many cenotes that thousands of people flock to each year. There are also many more cave systems, and
cenotes that have yet to be discovered (or opened up to the public), and many
that lie on private property that are waiting to be explored!
