Yucatan, Mexico. 12/23/1985. Aerial view of a Yucatan Cenote. Yucatan is home to at least 6,000 cenotes. Cenote water is often very clear, as rain water is filtering through the ground containing very little suspended particulate matter. Historically, Maya peoples at Chichen Itza and Uxmal relied on Cenotes for water and for sacrificial offerings.
