Yucatan Peninsula, Akumal, Mexico.
A cenote is a sinkhole with exposed rocky edges containing groundwater. The Yucatan Peninsula contains a vast coastal aquifer system (and underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock from which groundwater can be extracted). Freshwater is the linking factor in both the ecological and economic systems of the Yucatan Peninsula. |
