Cenote Suytun is a semi-enclosed cavern cenote near Valladolid, famous for a single beam of sunlight that pierces the domed ceiling and illuminates a circular stone platform at the water's center. This dramatic light effect peaks around midday.
Like all Yucatán cenotes, Suytun formed when the limestone ceiling of an underground river collapsed over millennia. It was used by local Maya communities for water supply before becoming a tourism attraction in the 2010s.
