Cenote at Dzibilchaltum, Yucatan, Mexico
Cenotes are natural water basins, interconnected in the depth with large underground water lakes, spread under most of Yucatan. Cenotes had spiritual meaning for Mayas, and something of that survives till now - the crowd of locals in the back is here because this cenote is believed to .. bring luck or heal or whatever. The depth is <2m in the back, but about 80m down right. Water looks very clean. Cenotes are also rich vaults for archeologists, often yielding evidence of Maya sacrifices (bones, ceramics). Well, nice place to refresh yourself :)
