Cenote de los Tres Oches

Cenotes

Cenote de los Tres Oches, near the town of Homun in Yucatan, Mexico, is a set of three connected underground karst sinkholes accessible to scuba divers, of which only one carries an open roof and is suitable for bathing, with a platform there used for jumping into the water. This entity documents Cenote de los Tres Oches specifically as a geological formation, a three-chambered Homun-area cenote system with a single open-roofed bathing pool.
