Visit cenote azul
Sanut is a natural pit or sinkhole formed by the collapse of limestone rocks that expose groundwater. The term is specifically associated with the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, where the Sunnah was commonly used for water supply by the ancient Maya and sometimes for sacrifice. The term is derived from a word used by the Maya of the Yukatak Plain - tsʼonot - to refer to any place with accessible groundwater.
Rock-like subsidence, such as the Sanuts, is a common geological form in lowland areas, especially on islands, coastlines, and young Paleozoic limestone platforms with little soil development. The term Sunnah has also been used to describe similar karst features in other countries, such as Cuba and Australia.

Is it OK to swim in cenotes?
Are the Cenotes in Tulum Safe for Swimming? Unlike the ocean where there can be big waves or a strong undertow, cenotes are closed off – within caves – that protect the calm, azure waters from the elements. This typically makes them an ideal spot for a restful swimming experience.
