Back in the 1980’s, I led an expedition sponsored by Jaguar cars to the rain forests in Belize. Our task was to create posters for the WWF to promote protection of the Jaguars. We were given a lift by an American film crew who were making a series on the life of the Mayans. En route from Belize City to our jungle destination, they stopped to show us a secret sacred Mayan pool. The image of the vibrant turquoise water evoked a deep sense of inner calm and well-being, something that will stay with me forever.

These sacred pools, known as Cenotes, are natural sink holes formed following the collapse limestone caves. Over thousands of years these have filled up with brilliant clear turquoise water from underground.
