On your travels if they have a goal of discovery (sometimes there are trips you like to make to relax only, because yes there is no harm in sunbathing all day at the beach), I advise you to see cenotes.

What is a cenote?

Cenotes come from the Mayan word Dz’onot which means « sacred well ». Cenotes are water-filled chasms, they come from the collapse of the ground that naturally dug a well in the rock. They are filled with fresh water seawater in the bottom of the cenote that comes from the ocean. It is a phenomenon that is similar to blue holes, which is formed by the collapse of the crust of the earth’s cavity. Cenotes are very present in Central America.

There are cenotes all over the world, but cenote formation is highly concentrated Central America, Latin America and North America. It’s not only Mexico that we find the largest and deepest cenotes. As the cenote of Yucatan and the Zacaton cenote. In fact, the Zacaton cenote is the deepest cenote discovered today. A robot measured its depth at 318 meters.
