A Little More About Cenotes
The word "cenote" comes from the Mayan language "ts'ono'ot" or "d'zonot", meaning "water hole".
Cenotes are natural wells, filled with fresh water and sometimes a lower layer of seawater. The Yucatán peninsula is estimated to have no less than 10,000 — only a minority of which have been explored. They communicate with each other through a complex system of underground rivers.
Their beauty, shape and depth vary from one cenote to another. The stalactite and stalagmite formations found inside take you back millions of years — add the play of light, and you're transported to another dimension. The magic of cenotes works.
