The Cenote at Dzibilchaltun

Add caption




These photos are from the cenote at Dzibilchaltun. A cenote is a natural sinkhole that reveals groundwater. They are fairly common on the Yucatan Peninsula.  Not only was this a source of fresh water for the Mayan city, it was also used for human sacrifice. Now it is used a swimming hole and it was wonderful! After a long morning's walk it felt great!
