Introduction

Cenote Suytun is among the Yucatán's most photogenic sinkholes, set in an underground cave. A shaft of light falls from a roof fissure onto a circular pool, with a stone walkway platform at its centre where visitors step into the beam—dreamlike. Stalactites and clear blue groundwater surround it; both an Instagram icon and a Maya sacred well.
