<P> Chichen Itza is located in the eastern portion of Yucatán state in Mexico . The northern Yucatán Peninsula is arid , and the rivers in the interior all run underground . There are two large , natural sink holes , called cenotes , that could have provided plentiful water year round at Chichen , making it attractive for settlement . Of the two cenotes , the `` Cenote Sagrado '' or Sacred Cenote ( also variously known as the Sacred Well or Well of Sacrifice ) , is the most famous . </P>
