WHAT EXACTLY IS A CENOTE?
A "cenote" is a natural sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath found especially within the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Cenotes were sometimes used by the ancient Maya for sacrificial offerings.
The term "cenote " is derived from the word — "ts'onot"— used by the low-land Yucatec Mayans to refer to any location with accessible groundwater. Cenotes are formed by dissolution of rock and the resulting subsurface void, which may or may not be linked to an active cave system and the subsequent structural collapse. Rocks that fall into the water below are slowly removed by further dissolution which creates space for more collapsed rocks. The rate of collapse increases during periods when the water table is below the ceiling of the void, since the rock ceiling is no longer buoyantly supported by the water in the void.
Cenotes may fully collapse creating an open water pool or partially collapse with some portion of a rock overhanging above the water. The stereotypical cenote often resemble small circular ponds, measuring tens of meters in diameter with sheer drops at the edges. Most cenotes, however, require some degree of stooping or crawling to gain access to the water.
