Cenote Mino-mi

Location: 20.48686, -87.27141 (Yucatán, Mexico)

Don Inocencio has lived on his land for over 30 years. Over the past 4 years, many exploratory dives have been made from several cave entrances found on his property with passages running under most of the dense jungle. It was a surprise when he told Christophe Le Maillot that he had discovered a new cenote.

The jungle floor dropped to reveal a large breakdown with a promising cave entrance under the northwest wall. The crack opened to a large decorated cavern and the floor sloped toward a defined passage.

The passage was unexpectedly deep, soon narrowed and finally pinched shut.It is unlikely that this system will grow larger than the present 1,098 ft, but no doubt more cenotes exist here, hidden in the thick jungle.
