Natural Pools Below The Ground, Ik Kil cenote, Yucatán, Mexico

One of the relics of the famous Mayan pyramid is in addition to the Cenote Ik-Kil in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. This is a natural pond lying was at a depth of 25 meters from the ground. Traveler must first down the stairs to get there.
Cenote Ik-Kil is actually a series of underground river. This place was formerly functioned as a sacrifice of women to ask for rain. It goes without worry, now Conte Ik-Kil is a lovely swimming pool and lively. There is a tree roots dangling over your head while swimming.

Ik Kil cenote is a popular stop on the way to the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza (specifically popular among bus tours, since there is a restaurant and store on The Premises) the Cenote is about 25 meters beneath the surface, The stairway is beautifully lit up & carved into limestone rock and reaches the swimming platform, usually crowded with swimmers, the pool itself is about 60 meters in diameter, the water are very deep around 35 meters. There are vines descending from the top and little water drops constantly flow from above. There are some black catfish which live on the pool, not to worry they don’t bite.
in 2010 & 2011 there was a crazy Red Bull Diving Competition (scroll all the way to the end of the post to see the video) the divers jumped into the cool water from a platform placed all the way above the Cenote.
