Chac Mool Cenote, Natural sinkhole in Solidaridad, Mexico

The Chac Mool Cenote system encompasses three connected sinkholes filled with fresh water, featuring stalactites, stalagmites, and underwater cave formations.

Ancient Maya civilizations utilized cenotes throughout the Yucatan Peninsula as essential water sources and ceremonial spaces for religious practices.

The name originates from a traditional Maya sculpture depicting a reclining figure associated with rain deities and fertility rituals.

Located 23 kilometers south of Playa del Carmen, this cenote provides facilities including showers, changing rooms, restrooms, and a small restaurant.

The cenote exhibits a natural phenomenon called halocline, where freshwater and saltwater layers create distinct visual distortions underwater.
