A cenote is a natural water formation found in karstic regions, such as the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It is a type of cave or sinkhole formed when the roof of a cave collapses, revealing a pool of freshwater inside.
Cenotes are considered authentic natural treasures due to their beauty and uniqueness.
In addition to their aesthetic value, cenotes hold historical and cultural significance as they were considered sacred by ancient Mayan civilizations, who used them as sources of drinking water and in ritual ceremonies.
