Five Blues Lake National Park:
Five Blues Lake National Park is located in a most impressive
setting in the forest-covered foothills of the Maya Mountains.
It is a pristine tract of karst terrain, honeycombed with
unexplored cave systems and teeming with spectacular wildlife.
The park was established in 1992 as a showcase for the region's
amazing biological diversity and rich cultural heritage.
It encompasses over 4,000 acres of prime tropical forest
and preserves a wealth of natural and archaeological features.
Five Blues is only a single lake, but it displays a variety
of vibrant blue hues. Witnessing this array of color, it
is easy to imagine the source of its name. The lake is a
cenote, a collapsed cave system also known as a blue hole.
It's cool waters run 200 feet deep and cover approximately
10 acres.
