A detail , in the following picture, of the pottery fragments mixed to decomposing leaves on the bottom of the Cenote; a sign of the past human presence in the area.
 |
Some Cenotes look more like swimming pools than wells.
It's the case of Cenote Azul , placed midway on the road between Akumal beach and Playa del Carmen in the Tulum surroundings.
 |
The bottom of the Cenote is sometimes covered with green algaes that contribute to give to this waters an emerald color.
 |
Cenote Azul is managed by local farmers more as an amusement
park than a nautral resource.
Turism is quikly changing the aspect and nature of these places.
