mothernaturenetwork: Cenote Ik Kil (cenote means “natural well” in Spanish) is a large sinkhole on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula that’s sacred to the Mayans. The hole is 90 feet deep, adorned in tropical vegetation and filled with clear blue water that Mayan royalty used for both relaxation and ritual sacrifices. Red Bull has held its Cliff Diving World Series at the sinkhole, and divers have leapt from the cenote’s surface and reached speeds of 40 mph before entering the water.
