CAVERN CENOTES ARE THE YOUNGEST, AND MANY REMAIN HIDDEN OR CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC

There are four types of cenotes in Mexico:

  • Cavern cenotes are the youngest, and many remain hidden or closed to the public. This type of cenote played an important role in ancient Mayan culture.
  • Semi-open cenotes are the second-youngest type of cenote. Some of these are connected to other cenotes by underground tunnels, sometimes hundreds of meters long.
  • Open cenotes are one of the oldest cenotes where rock formations no longer cover the water.
  • Ancient cenotes are the oldest type and no longer look like cenotes but more like open-air lagoons.
