Our Yokdzonot Sinkhole Nuestro Cenote Yokdzonot
Cenotes are surface connections to subterranean water bodies. The term "cenote" is derived from the Mayan word "dz'onot" which refers to any location where ground water is accessible; most "cenotes" or sink-holes are under ground in caves, many like the Sacred Cenote of Chichen Itza are open-air sink holes with great deep limestone wall reaching many feet in depth. Most cave cenotes have clear fresh water with great visibility while open-air cenotes generally have large blue green algae build up, such algae is rich in nutrients and an excellent source of minerals, vitamins and proteins that nourish the body as food and as skin cells protection. Cenotes are vital for Yucatan's wildlife survival.
The newest cenote to be prepared for our visitors and guests, is our Cenote Yokdzonot, located just 400 meters from the Yucatan Mayan Retreat, Ecohotel & Camping.
A swim in this cenote is a magical experience. Small fish dart all around you, birds are swooping overhead and singing, and dragonflies flutter above the water's surface. The water is cool and clean.
