WHAT IS A
CENOTE?
Cenote is a flooded sinkhole of
karmic origin . There are several
open and underground or in a
cave .
Alan and Victor F-Definition
WHERE ARE THE
CENOTES
The vast majority of the cenotes are
located in the Yucatan Peninsula and
have a very porous limestone soil that,
when it collapses due to the rain and
current of the underground rivers, gives
rise to the formation of the cenotes.

WHAT THE MAYAS
MADE IN THE
CENOTES

Caves and cenotes have been

scenarios of great importance for
the Mayans since ancient times,
since they were considered portals
or windows to the world of the dead.
Axel and Lan definition
WHY THE MAYAS TAKE CARE
OF THE CENOTES
From the Mayan worldview, water is a sacred element with its own
life. Furthermore, rain is portrayed as sacred and not as a
resource. From this approach arises the indigenous culture of
water.

On the other hand, the story highlights the invocations to Chaac, god of
rain, to ask for the abundance of water from the sky,

The influence of the god was so great that it is present in archaeological

sites such as Chichen Itza (cover photo) in the form of masks, adorning
facades, temples and pyramids.
