Thanks, Irmamar! I've heard great things about Punta del Este. I'm wondering, though, if we want to go to the beach in the winter? My friend's house is about 5 hours from there, so it might not be convenient for us to go. We'll have to see ... it would be a lot of fun!!

(By the way, I would say "touristy" and not "turistic" there... It may not be formal English to say "touristy", but I think that "touristic" isn't a word....)

Well, then I've invented a word that you needed in your vocabulary: "turistic", a very useful word

I did one search in the website about the meaning of the word Cenote and I found this information about them, I believe that this information is complete and very interesting, I hope this can help you.

Un cenote (del maya ts'ono'ot: caverna con agua)1 es una dolina inundada de origen kárstico que se encuentra en algunas cavernas profundas, como consecuencia de haberse derrumbado el techo de una o varias cuevas. Ahí se juntan las aguas subterráneas, formando un estanque más o menos profundo. Existen varios tipos de cenotes: a cielo abierto, semiabiertos y subterráneos o en gruta. Esta clasificación está directamente relacionada con la edad del cenote, siendo los cenotes maduros aquellos que se encuentran completamente abiertos y los más jóvenes los que todavía conservan su cúpula intacta. Como otras muchas estructuras geomorfológicas, los cenotes son estructuras transitorias, que finalmente pueden terminar rellenos y desecados, pasando a formar parte de lo que se conoce como un paleokarst.2
Su morfología suele ser típicamente subcircular, y con las paredes abruptas. Por la evolución del macizo kárstico, el cenote comienza siendo una cámara subterránea producida por la disolución de la roca caliza por la infiltración del agua de lluvia. Eventualmente, conforme la cavidad va aumentando de tamaño, el cenote puede terminar aflorando a la superficie por colapso de la cúpula.
Los cenotes se formaron durante las épocas de bajada del nivel del mar durante los pulsos glaciares del Pleistoceno. Los cenotes son, en la mayor parte de los casos, ensanchamientos de complejas redes fluviales subterráneas, que en ocasiones se abren paso hasta el mar. En éstos, el agua marina, más densa que la dulce, puede penetrar por el el fondo del sistema freático. Por ello, hay cenotes en los que a partir de determinada profundidad el agua pasa de dulce a salada, incluso a muchos kilómetros de la costa. Esta superficie de contacto entre el agua dulce y marina recibe el nombre de haloclina, y provoca interesantes efectos visuales.
En la costa oriental de la Península de Yucatán, la espeleología ha demostrado la existencia de interconexiones entre cenotes y entre éstos y el mar, evidenciando un verdadero sistema de escurrimiento subterráneo.3
Los cenotes son estructuras geomorfológicos típicas de las plataformas calizas de la península de Yucatán y la península de Florida. Hay cenotes muy similares en las llanuras de Nullarbor, al norte de la Gran Bahía australiana y, también en las Bahamas, en donde se les conoce como blue holes ó “agujeros azules”.

Yes. David it's the correct translation of the word Cenote.

Oh, I LOVE creating new parts of speech! I will very, very likely use "touristic" in the future. I shall try to remember to give you credit.

I don't understand what you said about a credit. What does it mean?

@Crotalito: I like these cenotes. They're so beautiful!

Crotalito meant to say "¿Te gustaría conocer uno?". En inglés esto se traduce así: "Would you like to see one sometime?".

Thanks, Tomisimo.

Yes, I'd like to see one, but I'm afraid, because I think I should take a plane to go there, and I'm not going to take a plane in my life again, I hope so...

It's not necessary because there are roads that will arriving you to the Cenotes, and you don't take one plane, they are in places already towns, well you only have to take one plane to come to Mexico.

I hope you someday decide come to Mexico.

"Would you like meet one?" es incorrecto

Para decir "¿Te gustaría conocer uno?" tienes que decir "Would you like to see one sometime?", que literalmente es "¿Te gustaría ver uno alguna vez?".
