My drawing of the Ik Kil Cenote Of Yucatán, Mexico.
Cenote Pronounced “Z- not” by the ancient Mayans, but pronounced today as “C-note-a” . It is located in the northern center of the Yucatán Peninsula and is part of the Ik Kil Archeological Park near Chichen Itza.
A Cenote is a spot where the limestone has collapsed into this underground water system, basically a sink hole. Usually the roof has collapsed to create an opening and one heck of a swimming hole. Some access large caverns that are suitable for scuba diving while others are more suited as excellent swimming holes. There are an estimated 7,000 cenotes in the Yucatan to choose from with Ik Kil being recognized as one of the most beautiful.
At 26 meters (85 Ft) below the surface, Ik Kil is one big hole in the ground. The water surface with a diameter of 200ft is so deep, 40 meters (130ft) that no one has ever hit their head on the bottom and diving is allowed.
