The Cheesy Yucatan Peninsula

aclazaro — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:16:45 +0000

The Yucatan Peninsula is a totally interesting attraction in mexico but most do not notice its geology. The base of the Yucatan peninsula is shaped like cheese. It has natural holes termed as cenotes and most of these holes are filled up with fresh and natural waters.

One famous cenote is near the Ik-kil town which is close to the Chichen Itza Ruins and Villadolid. To reach the water level, you must go down through its lon, winding stairs. A manmade platform was made for people to use to jump and be able to swim around its waters. The platform is about 20 feet from the water and it could really cause your heart to skip if you would jump from that high of a starting point.

So if you plan to go beyond what Mexico can offer aside from just its beaches, then do not forget to make a side trip to this cheesy peninsula and make that jump of your life.
