The underlying holes, the so-called cenotes, are partly filled with fresh water or underground caves. Mexico\u2019s cenotes are sacred to the Maya, since they provided the\u00a0<strong>most important drinking water supply<\/strong>. The cenotes are also the entrance to the underworld of the Maya, the so-called\u00a0<strong>Xibalba<\/strong>. Archaeologists still find offerings from the past in many of Mexico\u2019s cenotes. This includes jade, textiles, ceramics and even gold, which was either thrown in the water or deposited there.<\/p>\n<p>The Maya went to the cenotes when they wanted to contact the\u00a0<strong>gods of the underworld<\/strong>. Even today, some cenotes are sacred places for the Mayan descenders, where ceremonies are performed. The term cenote is derived from the Mayan language, \u201cDzonot\u201d means \u201cwater hole\u201d. They are probably the basis for the development of the Mayan culture in\u00a0<strong>southeast Mexico<\/strong>. All important Mayan sites on the Yucatan Peninsula are located close to cenotes. They provided the water supply for the Mayan cities with\u00a0<strong>several thousand inhabitants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Cenotes meant\u00a0<strong>duality<\/strong>\u00a0for the\u00a0<strong>ancient Maya<\/strong>. Here the transition from the world of life to the world of the dead took place.\u00a0<strong>Aluxes<\/strong>, guardians of the forests and cenotes, are still worshiped with ancient rituals and offerings. Aluxes are knee-high creatures, living in the jungle. They have to be\u00a0 asked for permission when entering or building on their areas.

Because the calcium contained in the rainwater sticks to stalactites (coming from the ceiling) or stalagmites (protruding from the ground). Stalactites and stalagmites grow extremely slowly, about 1 cm in 80 years. Stalactite caves with fascinating formations arise. The cenotes in Mexico are popular with visitors for swimming, diving and snorkeling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cenotes as caves<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Completely covered with karst rock, these cenotes are often many meters underground. They can be filled with water or dry. It depends on the water level. Sometimes the light enters through cracks or openings. Then there are impressive light shows that often resemble a laser show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Half-open cenotes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Half-open cenotes are often just the entrance to deeper cave systems. A field covers water or grottos underneath. Light penetrates and creates a mystical atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Open cenotes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Open cenotes nestle into the landscape like a lake. They usually hide other caves with which they are connected. For example, divers often enter an open cenote into a cave beyond.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Zeile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;3px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;gcid-8b2dfd47-6b6b-49ea-bc24-6e7015f69dab&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-8b2dfd47-6b6b-49ea-bc24-6e7015f69dab%22:%91%22border_color_all%22%93}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_icon font_icon=&#8221;&#x52;||divi||400&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;gcid-d7957045-b72e-41bc-8027-483b0cf3f191&#8243; align=&#8221;left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||30px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||12px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-d7957045-b72e-41bc-8027-483b0cf3f191%22:%91%22icon_color%22%93}&#8221;][\/et_pb_icon][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px|13px||-200px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_margin__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221;]<b>There are closed, half open and open cenotes in Mexico.<\/b>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;33px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Sulfur clouds in cenotes<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/leontours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/6-Cenoten.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;The best Cenotes in Mexico: Angelita Cenote Riviera Maya&#8221; title_text=&#8221;The best Cenotes in Mexico: Angelita Cenote Riviera Maya&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Mexico Cenotes: sulfur clouds create a mystical atmosphere<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<strong>Fresh water<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>salt water<\/strong>\u00a0in cenotes do not mix.

Look for fossils, proof that this tunnel system used to be below sea level.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=&#8221;Zeile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;33px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>The best Cenotes in Mexico: Calavera (16 meter)<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/leontours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/14-Gran-Cenote.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Mexico Cenotes Riviera Maya: Gran Cenote&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Mexico Cenotes Riviera Maya: Gran Cenote&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The best Cenotes in Mexico, Yucatan Halbinsel: <a href=\"https:\/\/shara.li\/c\/5Ry3ZraoHe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener; sponsored noopener\">Gran Cenote<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]The Gran Cenote is located near Tulum and is usually very busy.

In Spanish, \u201cAngelita\u201d means \u201cangel\u201d. Because of the depth, Angelita is less suitable for swimming and snorkeling. For divers, it is a true paradise. This dive takes place in an open, circular cenote. This is a classic deep dive. The halocline is at 27 meters. We start our dive just below it. The halocline is surrounded by a spectacular hydrogen sulphate cloud. Out of it rise trees and branches. Many feel like they\u2019re walking around an island in a misty lake. This creates an almost mystical feeling and an unforgettable dive.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;33px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/shara.li\/c\/OM588y0QC3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The best Cenotes in Mexico: Aktun Ha \/ Carwash (16 meter)<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/leontours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-Cenote-Aktun-Ha.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Aktun Ha The best Cenotes in Mexico, Riviera Maya&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Aktun Ha The best Cenotes in Mexico, Riviera Maya&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/shara.li\/c\/OM588y0QC3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener; sponsored noopener\">Carwash<\/a>\u00a0Cenote Riviera Maya<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Some taxi drivers used the clean water of the cenote to wash their car. Therefore, this cenote has its nickname Carwash. This cenote is great for diving, snorkeling and swimming. In the hot summer, the water can be temporarily mixed with algae. The algae season lasts from February to September. During this time, there is a thick, orange-green algae layer on the water surface. It is about 1 meter thick. Underneath, the water is crystal clear, as befits a true cenote in Yucatan. In front of this backdrop you can create interesting underwater photos.<\/p>\n<p>For divers the dive starts in a kind of pond. Algae and roots create fascinating light effects. It is so beautiful that we could only dive under the open water surface the whole time. But are we not there for cave diving? Inside the cenote we find bones and Mayan pottery. Even in the algae-free season, we expect amazing plays of light. One of the most beautiful cenotes in the area.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;33px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/shara.li\/c\/p9293FACUV&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>The best cenotes in Mexico: Dreamgate<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/leontours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/16-Cenote-Dreamgate.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Mexico Cenote Dreamgate: The best cenotes Riviera Maya&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Mexico Cenote Dreamgate: The best cenotes Riviera Maya&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/shara.li\/c\/p9293FACUV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener; sponsored noopener\">Dreamgate<\/a> Cenote in Mexico<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]The Cenote Dreamgate is a true diver\u2019s dream.

During the dive we pass fantastically beautiful stalactite formations. The underwater caves are richly decorated with stalactites and stalagmites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Because of the shallow depth, good buoyancy is a must, so that no slag from the ground is whirled up.
