I had the pleasure to explore the Yucatan coast a few years back and besides the mangroves, jungle, ancient pyramids and gorgeous beaches, we came across these unbelievable water holes known locally as “Cenotes”. The Yucatec version of the word is “ts’onot”, which translates into well. We found them everywhere, deep in the jungle trails, near the beach and to my amazement, even in the ocean in different places and in some instances, quite far from the coast.

A couple of weeks ago, I took a mid-week trail walk in an open space that is no more than 10 minutes away by car from home in the foothills of Silicon Valley in California. I’ve been to quite a few places in the tropics of South America in my younger years which were in some cases, days away from the closest town and I have to admit I was baffled by how well maintained the local California trails and woods are, and pleasantly surprised by the variety of the local wildlife.
