Millions of years ago, the peninsula of Yucatan, Mexico, was covered by the ocean.During the Ice Age, the level of the ocean sank, all reefs and marine life that lived over it died, and many of them became marine fossils.In this time rainfall filtered through the ground and flowing slowly towards the ocean it eventually carver out huge Systems of underground caves and tunnels.Once the system were farmed, rainfall would filter through the ground, dragging minerals of the Earth.Dripping down the vaults of the underground caves, this formed stalagtites and stalagmites that in time created amazingly beautiful rock formations.After the Ice Age the water lavel rose again and flooded the cave system with spectacular clear water, leaving them as they are today.

The cenote itself is part of a cave ceiling which collapsed creating a natural entrance to the underground Systems.

The Mayans called these sinkholes “Dznot“ (sacred well), thus the Spanish Word Cenote.The Dznot was considered to be an Entrance to their mysthical and spiritual underworld, as well as the Orly source of fresh in the jungle.

Playa Azul Tulum Hotel is close to many Cenotes, we will love to help you out to find them!
