Cenotes Express
Experience a unique adventure by visiting four different cenotes. The cenotes are the most beautiful jewels of the Yucatán Peninsula, fed by water from the heart of the earth. Their name comes from the Mayan word "Dz’onot," meaning “cave with water,” which evolved into the current term: cenotes.
These natural crystal-clear water wells are formed by rainwater filtration and the world’s largest underground river system. The Mayans considered the cenotes as the entrance to “Xibalbá,” the Mayan underworld, making them sacred places. In their depths, gold vessels, jade, and various objects offered as tributes have been found. According to Mayan beliefs, small beings known as aluxes have the mission of guarding the jungle and cenotes.
