This is a little donkey-drawn "train" that takes you to the Chelentun cenote at Cuzamá and then some pics I found of that place:

Yes I do dive cenotes. One of the certs I'm currently working on is a cavern diver cert. Cenote diving is unlike any other diving. It can be dangerous if you don't follow the "rules." The main one being no more then 200ft from the surface and always have daylight in view. There's a odd effect known as 'Halocline." It occurs where the cool fresh water of the surface meets the deeper saltwater. The colors are nothing short of fantastic. I have friends coming in April for three days, we'll only be diving cenotes. Since I don't have the cert. yet we'll be hiring a guide.
While that not where I'm at I have done the donkey train at Cuzamá several times. It's on the list of "must sees" for gringos when then have family and friends in from out of town. That rail in the picture is single. Know how they get it to be a round trip? There's two trains when they meet one driver pushes his car off the tracks then back on.
