Cenote Sagrado - Well of Sacrifice

 
The sacbe - a raised and paved road that connects the El Castillo pyramid to the Centoe Sagrado

Looking into the Cenote.  The Yucatan region of Mexico is mainly limestone.  Surface water is very hard to find - but the Maya relied on underground lakes call a cenote for continuous water supply.

 
 
Many items were for sale along the walk to the Cenote
