The Yucatan Peninsula is a huge limestone platform where fresh water runs like rivers through underground cave systems.  Part of this land collapsed after the last ice age more than 8,000 years ago, creating sinkholes called Cenotes, derived from the Mayan word “Dzonot” which means sacred well.  The cenotes were considered the entrance to the mythical underworld by the ancient Mayans and were sometimes used for sacrificial offerings.  Today, three of the world's longest underwater cave systems can be found in this area.
