The Yucatán peninsula is flat. There are no mountains. But still it is full of what they call 'cenotes', big holes in the ground that with time has become like natural pools. Actually there are about seven thousands of them. And how can that be?

 

They don't know much about what happened 65 million years ago. I - even less. But according to one of the theories, Mexico is the place where the big ending for the dinosaurs began. It all happened when a big meteroite hit the peninsula and released 100 000 gigaton trinitrotoluene. I'm not going to pretend I have any idea what that means, but it seems like something really really bad considering the consequeses. Because after these gigatons of trinitrowhat 75 percent of the life on earth went straight to dinosaur heaven.

 

Another consequese was that these were created, perfect for gathering tourists in orange life vests to swim around like tadpoles in a puddle: 

We went to the cenote of Ik Kil on our way from Chichen Itza. As they sell you the tour they use pictures that really makes you want to go there. Crystal blue waters... Caves... And I suppose some of the cenotes are like that. But this one wasn't. This was like a big black hole full of catfishes. So, yes, I admit I was a little disappointed.
