Yucatán CenotesRiviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Resolves the previous unsourced placeholder. Present in the surface lagoons at Casa Cenote and Carwash, described as shy and federally protected. Genuinely the most notable animal in the system and absent from most cenote marketing.

Open year-round; the cenotes are inland, sheltered and thermally constant at 24-25C, so they are the reliable fallback when Caribbean weather cancels the boats. Heavy rain in the Jun-Oct wet season pushes tannins and particulate into some systems and temporarily reduces visibility; hurricanes close roads rather than sites.
