Cenote Zapote, Natural sinkhole in Puerto Morelos, Mexico.
Cenote Zapote features three distinct cave pools with clear waters, surrounded by dense jungle vegetation and limestone formations reaching deep underground.
Explorers discovered ancient sloth bones dating back 10,000 years within the underwater chambers of Cenote Zapote during scientific expeditions.
The cenote forms part of the regional natural heritage, connecting to an extensive network of underground rivers across the Yucatan Peninsula.
The eco-park provides essential facilities including life jackets, lockers, restrooms, and a restaurant, with a shuttle service from nearby hotels.
The cenote contains geological formations called Hell's Bells, cone-shaped stalactites that hang from the ceiling beneath the water surface.
