The One-Of-A-Kind Mexican Costco That Boasts A Unique Parking Lot Attraction

While most folks head to Costco to pick up groceries, one particular location's parking lot has been drawing crowds for a very unique reason — a cenote.

Cenotes are a type of sinkhole specific to the Yucatan peninsula, which was a coral reef long ago. There are 2,400 documented cenotes, but only one in a Costco parking lot.

Situated in Merida, Mexico, the sinkhole is named Ka Kuxtal, which means "the one that got [brought] back to life" in the Mayan language. It has become a must-see for tourists.

Costco has decorated the area around the cenote with a scenic stone garden. While the store isn’t too different from those in the U.S., it does have some unique food court items.
