¿What is a Cenote?
Hidden in the Yucatan Peninsula jungle we can find the cenotes; underground river systems of caves and caverns which for thousand years have kept the secrets of the Mayan cosmogony. This spectacular places were considered as the gateway to Xibalba. Welcome to the Mayan underworld. Cenotes were used for religious purpose such as sacrificial ceremonies but also as the only freshwater resources. For the current Mayan population the cenotes are still sacred places and they still commemorate some of their ancient rituals.
