Cenote Azul is a popular tourist destination located in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. It is a natural sinkhole filled with crystal-clear turquoise water, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, and is considered to be one of the most beautiful cenotes in the region. The cenote is approximately 60 meters in diameter and reaches a depth of approximately 20 meters. It is a popular spot for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving.

The cenote's unique natural formation is due to the region's geology. The Yucatan Peninsula is known for its large underground cave system, and cenotes like Azul are formed when the roof of a cave collapses, exposing the water below. Cenotes have been a vital source of water for the Mayan people for thousands of years, and they are considered sacred. Today, cenotes like Azul attract visitors from all over the world who are fascinated by their beauty and historical significance.
