A River Under a River!!

Have you ever heard there is a river which exists under a river? Is that possible? But here the example about underwater river in Cenote Angelita, Mexico.


It's not actually a river. It is surrounded by fallen leaves and dead tree branches in what seems like a deep-sea mystical forest run a surreal underground river 100 feet below the surface.


In Mexico there is a river under the sea! It’s almost looks like a river under the sea. To see this river you have to go in Mexico, which submerged in deep water, one of the last things a diver may expect to find 90ft below the surface is a river view.


But that's exactly what awaits those bold enough to dive in Mexico's Cenote Angelita.

The interesting landscape of swirling mist looks like a flowing river in the middle of the cave, complete with trees emerging from the surface.


Renowned photographer named Anatoly Beloshchin filmed his exploration of the cenote - a cave created by the collapse of limestone bedrock which then fills with water - to show the drama of the moment the river comes into sight which The phenomenon can only be seen in person by extremely skilled scuba divers who can cope with exploring the depths of the 180ft pit.


Angelita translates as 'little angel', lies about a ten-minute drive from the Maya city Tulum, on the east coast of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula and first ninety feet  of the dive, adventurers are swimming through fresh water with a clear view of the inside of their surroundings before the 'river' appears below.














Cenotes were often used by the Maya for sacrifices and Angelita has certainly retained its mystique to the present day so the mist is actually a thick layer of hydrogen sulfide, about 6ft deep, which is caused by the clash between the fresh water at the top of the cave and the salt water that the bottom half almost fills the water.
