Exploring cenotes is like a journey through time, going back thousands of years and offering glimpses into Earth’s different periods. Witness fossils of shells and coral imprints, telling a tale of the distant past when this land was submerged beneath an ancient ocean. As sea levels receded, these dry caves formed, sculpted by limestone filtration that created stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations.
We will visit two distinct locations, each featuring haloclines (the boundary between salty and fresh water, looking like a mirage), fossils, unique rock formations, air domes, and curtains of sunbeams.
