How is there such thing as a river underwater you ask?

Well I’ll tell you, it is called a cenote.

A cenote occurs when hydrogen sulfate mixes with saltwater causing it to be much heavier than regular salt water. The mixture sinks to the bottom, and there is a distinct separation between the two kinds of water. The lower part flows and looks just like a river.

This place is in Mexico and is called the Cenote Angelita.

The word “Cenote” is pronounced, “say-no-tay” and is derived from the Mayan word, “Dzonot” which means sacred well.

The changes in water color look so eerie, but very beautiful.
