Santa Barbara Cenotes
Sit on a horse-drawn 'truck' or cycle to the cenotes - we cycle
Going down to the first cenote - Cascabel
All underground
Walking down to the second cenote - Chaksikin
Cycling to the second cenote
It's deeper and partially open
Spotted these on the way down
Beautiful colours
Stalactites and tree roots coming down
Pete in the sunlight
A fairytale roof
We snorkel and see many fish (also stalactites and tree roots under the water)
A shaft of light from a hole made by an old tree
This tree's roots have made it to the water
Lovely clear water
What a magical place to swim
Steps and a little tunnel to the third cenote - Xoch'
This is the deepest and most open
A tree on the edge with it's roots reaching for the water
There are many fish (catfish?) here
Birds (including a turkey vulture?) hang out in the nooks and crannies around the water
Time to head back for lunch
Lazy way back
Agave plant fibers (henequen) used to make rope
