2Cenote Maya Park
A cenote maya is a natural freshwater sinkhole formed by the collapse of limestone bedrock, primarily found in the Yucatán Peninsula. Derived from the Maya word ts'ono'ot (sacred well), these, often underground, caves were considered gateways to the underworld (Xibalba) and served as essential water sources and ritual sites.
