4 La Casa del Cenote at Mayan Ruins in Tulum, Mexico

Home of the Well was constructed over a cave that once contained potable water. In the Yucatán these are called a cenote. This well is now salty and undrinkable from the adjacent sea. The rectangular building consists of two rooms. In the center is a tomb. This placement is common because the Mayans believed a cenote was an entry to the underworld they called Xibalba.
