Choo-Ha, Underground cenote near Cobá ruins, Mexico
The natural limestone cave contains shallow water pools with formations of stalactites extending from the ceiling throughout the underground chamber.
Ancient Maya civilizations used this type of water-filled cavern for collecting fresh water supplies and performing ceremonial offerings during their settlements.
The underground cenote represents a traditional Maya water source, with its name deriving from the Yucatec Maya language indicating accessible groundwater.
Visitors need to descend stairs to reach the water area, where facilities include changing rooms, bathrooms, showers, and mandatory life jacket rentals.
The cenote maintains a constant water temperature and contains small fish species that inhabit its clear waters beneath the limestone formations.
