Cenote
natural pit, or sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cenote[1] is a type of sinkhole that contains groundwater. It is typical in the Mexican Yucatán Peninsula and some nearby Caribbean islands. The term comes from a word used by the lowland Yucatec Maya to refer to any location where groundwater can be got at.
