What are Cenotes?
Cenotes are caves or tunnels, which have been created thanks to the collapse of the limestone rocks. The craters, often visible from the surface are filled with crystal clear water. Mexico has the highest concentration and the greatest number of Cenotes in the world and specifically in the Yucatan.
