8) Yucatan Cave Lake (8 of 10)

The Yucatan Cave Lake is both mysterious as well as beautiful and rightfully makes our list. The cave lake is located in Tiger Che, which is in the Yucatan Peninsula, in the Northern part of Mexico. One of the most fascinating things about the lake is that it is nearly 2 million years old!

A lake that old will definitely have lots of interesting stories and myths attached to it, which adds to the charm and allure of the lake for tourists. There are lots of dry riverbeds, frozen fountains, underground spaces and plenty of exotic sites that are worth discovering at the lake.

The cave itself is made from limestone, and the locals believe that the Yucatan Cave Lake belongs to the Maya Gods and is therefore forbidden territory for them.
