Cobá: The name itself makes you remember images from its glorious past. Its outstanding features were the construction of big cities. Cobá which Mayan name means wild waters is a large archeological site, which in fact was made of a series of different sites connected among them. During the late post classic period 1200-1450 A.D. Cobá was the biggest settlement on the northeastern part of the Yucatán Peninsula. There are many groups of interesting buildings, the most notorious one is NOHOCH MUL, which is a large temple-pyramid that has the same name, is the tallest of the ancient constructions in Yucatan.

Cenote: Cenotes are formed by dissolution of rock which creates a subsurface void, which may or may not be linked to an active cave system, and the subsequent structural collapse of the rock ceiling above the void. The rock that falls into the water below will then be slowly removed by further dissolution, creating space for more collapse blocks. The rate of collapse increases during periods when the water table is below the ceiling of the void, since the rock ceiling is no longer buoyantly supported by the water in the void. Cenotes may be fully collapsed creating an open water pool, or partially collapsed with some portion of a rock overhang above the water. The stereotypical cenotes often resemble small circular ponds, measuring some tens of meters in diameter with sheer drops at the edges. Most cenotes however require some degree of stooping if not crawling to access the water.
