Cenote Chunkuy

Cenotes

Cenote Chunkuy is one of the named cenotes within the Ring of Cenotes, the Reserva Estatal Geohidrologica Anillo de Cenotes, a Yucatan state park that traces the buried rim of the Chicxulub impact crater. Published descriptive detail on its own chamber and access beyond its inclusion in the park is thin. This entity documents Cenote Chunkuy specifically as a geological formation, one of the named cenotes ringing the buried Chicxulub crater.
