Sinkholes in Mesoamerica, often referred to as "cenotes," are natural depressions or holes formed when limestone bedrock erodes, creating openings that can lead to underground water systems. These geological features are particularly abundant in regions like the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, where they were historically significant to ancient Mayan civilization for water supply and as sites for rituals. Cenotes often contain clear freshwater and are surrounded by lush vegetation, making them unique ecosystems. Today, they are popular for recreational activities such as swimming and diving.
