Mayan Cenotes

A type of freshwater-filled limestone sinkhole. Wikipedia

The largest concentration of cenotes in the Yucatan surround Akumal Mexico in the Mayan Riviera. These natural sinkholes can be found in either direction on Highway 307 just outside of Akumal. Early Mayans believed cenotes were sacred wells of the gods.

If you prefer to venture out on your own, just get in the car and drive north or south on Highway 307 where you will pass numerous cenote parks. There is usually a small entrance fee.
