Cenotes: a natural miracle
Mexico is full of beautiful wonders of nature. One of the biggest natural wonders are the cenotes, which you can find in Mexico and in particular on the Yucatan peninsula. A cenote is, simply put, an underground waterhole, but it is actually so much more. What you do not see from the outside, is that you will find yourself in the middle of paradise within the waterhole.
