Cenote Bolonchoojol

Cenotes

Cenote Bolonchoojol is a karst sinkhole near the village of Cuzama in Yucatan, Mexico, reached through a hole in the ground fitted with a ladder built by welding together old railroad ties, opening into a chamber of crystal-clear water lined with large stalactites and stalagmites. This entity documents Cenote Bolonchoojol specifically as a geological formation, a Cuzama-area cenote reached by a repurposed railroad-tie ladder into a stalactite-lined chamber.
