Believed by the Mayans to be portals to the underworld, thousands of

subterranean freshwater swimming holes can be found across the Yucatán

Peninsula. These deep limestone sinkholes, known as cenotes, formed when

caves collapsed and were flooded by the waters of an extensive system of

underground rivers.

The limestone acts as a filter, leaving the water amazingly clear and ideal for

swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Stalactites and stalagmites decorate the

thrillingly mysterious caves.

The name of the cenote shown in the photo refers to the fact that it’s one of a

pair of sinkholes found close together. While this pool is set in nearly total

darkness, sunlight floods the blue water of its mate, creating two entirely

different, yet altogether ethereal experiences.
