A cenote is an underground cavern (or "sinkhole") formed initially from the great coral beds that covered Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, and which over the millennia became limestone. The cenotes of the "land of the Maya" are also enormous underground sources of freshwater; and it was to these life sources that the ancient Maya had access in their ecologically-rich tropical world. There is still today a mystery and sense of spirituality in a cenote, which also lies at the heart of Mayan culture. One does not go into or ascend from a cenote without a sense of reverence. Sarah is a student of travel and tourism from Germany who has come to the Yucatan to work as a volunteer for the Kanché organization (www.kanche.org). Speaking impeccably fluent German, Spanish, and English she (along with Jesús Mesa, Director of Communication) accompanied us into the heart of Mayan culture and life.
