Cenotes

Cenotes

Cenotes are natural sinkholes or pits that connect the surface to an underground body of water. Often these locations were once underground lakes but have had a portion of their roof collapse, exposing the water to the surface. Cenotes may connect to vast underground cavern systems or to underground rivers. They may be used as wells or as locations for human sacrifice. They may contain pirate treasure.
