Cenote

The cenotes are deep water wells, created by the erosion of the limestone due to the filtration of rain and the currents of the rivers that originate in the heart of the earth. These wells owe their name to the Mayas, who baptised them with the word "Dz'onot", which means "cavern with water" and from there derived their current name: cenotes. It is an ecosystem found in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and is home to a very special diversity.
