Cenote light in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Sunlight streams into a cenote, a natural pit or sinkhole formed by the collapse of limestone bedrock, near Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. These geological formations were sacred to the Maya civilization, who believed they were portals to the underworld and used them for rituals and as sources of fresh water. Today, many cenotes in the Yucatan Peninsula are popular tourist destinations, offering opportunities for swimming, diving, and experiencing the unique subterranean ecosystems.
