Yucatan
is distinguished for its cenotes, sinkholes where underground
rivers break through the limestone crust of the earth. The
term comes from the Maya word “Dzonot", or “hole
filled with water”, truly unique in the world. Besides
of being the only source of freshwater in the jungle, cenotes
were also sacred to the Mayas, representing the doorway
to the spiritual underworld.
The Cenotes and Caverns of the State of Yucatan are a unique
experience, an immersion into a world of magic whose beauty
seems almost unreal... ...A gift from the gods |
