Description

One of the most distinctive features of Cenote Angelita is its significant depth, reaching around 60 meters (197 feet). The cenote has both a freshwater layer and a hydrogen sulfate cloud that mimics the appearance of a submerged river. Another unique aspect of Cenote Angelita is the presence of submerged trees. As divers descend through the freshwater layer, they encounter a surreal underwater landscape with trees seemingly growing out of the cenote bottom. Aktun Ha aka Car Wash, the name “Car Wash” is derived from the historical use of the cenote by the local Mayan community. The cenote was traditionally used as a natural car wash, where locals would clean their vehicles in the crystal-clear waters. The cenote is surrounded by lush jungle vegetation, creating a serene and picturesque setting depending on the tannic acid released its water change color from orange to green to yellow and blue.
