This is the Ikil cenote, located 10 minutes away from Chichen Itza, Yucatán. Cenotes are deep water filled sinkholes formed by water percolating through the soft limestone above.
Ikil, called the "Sacred Blue Cenote," is a perfectly round well-type cenote with exuberant vegetation and waterfalls, 196 feet wide and about 130 feet deep, it is an open cenote about 85 feet from the surface.
Swimming here is quite refreshing, since the temperature outside is so hot! But it's a funny, scary experience since it's not possible to see the bottom (only an intense green can be seen when you open your eyes), and you are swimming along with quite large black fish!
======================================== ==
Ubicado a escasos 500 mts de la zona arqueológica de Chichén Itzá; este cenote es un espectáculo único, digno de conocerse y en el cual se puede nadar; está situado en un parque ecológico,
Not just fish. You're also swimming with the bones of hundreds, if not, thousands of sacrificed people. Looks like an awesome experience.
