Cenote Cristalino: sacred for the Mayas and for the senses!

I can’t write much about Cenote Cristalino. It is simply put, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been at.

In a surrounding that could be out of a travel agency brochure or movie, you have crystal clear water, so transparent that you see the fishes going around so gracefully, without the need to use a snorkel. It’s like a swimming-pool, brought to you by Nature itself.

 

 

Cenotes (natural sinkholes like this one) are very common in the Peninsula de Yucatan in Mexico and, in a way, I regret not spending more time over there to visit other cenotes.

One day, we shall be back and do the “Ruta de los Cenotes” and enjoy some more!
