History

Description

Cenote Samula is actually a huge cavern with a small hole in the 20m high ceiling and a lake right below. Around noon, when the sun is shining in almost perpendicular, the cave and the cave lake are brightly lit, the water glows in a phantastic blue. This site is newly developed and a wall has been built around the hole into the cave. Actually they were concerned foreign tourists could accidentially fall in. Unique are the roots of a huge alamo tree stretching down into the pool.
