Sacred cenote with clear waters where you will have the opportunity to cool off after walking, an experience that you will never forget.
The entire Yucatan Peninsula is limestone, for that reason there are no rivers on the surface, they are all underground, for the Mayans cenotes were sacred places where they performed rituals such as human sacrifices and purification.
