From the Maya word dzonot or ts'onot “well” it refers to any location with accessible groundwater is a deep natural pit or sinkhole. In México, they exist in the Yucatan Peninsula, and are the result of the collapse of limestone bedrock, characteristic to the region, exposing groundwater underneath.
I´ve been diving in the Mexican cenotes since 1994 and I have always been fascinated by their natural beauty and magic. They represent an endless source of inspiration and aw, both by their intrinsic naturalistic beauty, but also by their history and spiritual meaning. The ancient Maya people, located the origins of life in the water, it was where life emerge and regenerated. The cenotes where considered sacred places, powerful and symbolic that represented the gateway to the spiritual underworld, to the afterlife, a place of rebirth.
This images are a tribute to these incredible places...
