Individual cenotes, the natural water-filled pits and sinkholes of the Yucatan Peninsula that the Maya used for water and held sacred as doorways to the underworld. The peninsula has no surface rivers, so its fresh water lies in the limestone below, and a cenote is a place where the roof has fallen in and opened that water to the sky. A site belongs here when its cited article calls it a cenote. Each member is placed by what its own article says it is, never by its name alone.
