Montezuma Well

              
Montezuma Well is a natural sinkhole 350 feet wide with cliffs about 70 feet above the water's surface. It's located 11 miles from Montezuma Castle and here like the Montezuma Castle were cliff dwellings  of the Sinaguan people. Every day over 1.5 million gallons of warm(74F) water flows into the well. It exits through a cave with irrigation ditches still visible from the Sinaguan people 1000 years ago.
 
Cliff Dwelling can be seen above Montezuma Well.
It is of the Sinaguan people much like that of Montezuma
Castle 11 miles away from this site.
