Beneath Mexico's mountains, jungles and plains lies an extraordinary underground world. From enormous caverns decorated with mineral formations to flooded cave systems hidden beneath tropical forests, Mexico is a paradise for anyone fascinated by geology and adventure.

The Yucatán Peninsula contains an extensive network of underground rivers and limestone caves. Cenotes are natural openings that reveal this hidden freshwater system. Some are open to the sky, while others are enclosed in mysterious underground chambers.
