Cenote - Cenotes are defined as subterranean water bodies with some connection to the surface While the most well-known cenotes are large open water pools measuring tens of metres in diameter, the greatest number of cenotes are smaller sheltered sites and do not necessarily have any surface exposed water.
Cenote water is often very clear, as the water comes from rain water infiltrating slowly through the ground, and therefore contains very little suspended particulate matter.

The groundwater flow rate within a cenote may be very slow at velocities ranging from 1 to 1000 meters per year. In many cases, cenotes are collapsed section of roof over an underlying cave system.
