Description
Something like this...
Español:
Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo.
En toda esta zona se encuentran corrientes subterraneas que forman depósitos comunmente conocidos como cenotes. "Cenote" es un término que se utiliza en México y que proviene de la palabra maya "dzonot", que significa "abismo". Los cenotes eran considerados como la puerta sagrada al inframundo Maya o Xibalbá; son pozos de pozos de agua dulce creados por la erosión de la piedra caliza, suave y porosa
Estos cenotes son parte de la hidrografía del estado, formada por ríos subterraneos que se unen entre sí, son cavernas a cielo abierto, por donde recorren las venas que nos muestran los muchos colores de la roca caliza y en ocasiones se descubren piezas de cerámica y vestigios mayas, así como la fauna acuatica que habita en esas profundidades.

Throughout this area there are undercurrents that deposits are commonly known as cenotes. "Cenote" is a term used in Mexico and comes from the Mayan word "Dzonot" which means "pit." The cenotes were considered a sacred door to the Mayan underworld Xibalba. They are wells of fresh water created by erosion of limestone, soft and porous.
These cenotes are part of the hydrography of the state, formed by underground rivers that join together. They're open caves, where the veins run through that show the many colors of limestone and sometimes discovered ceramics and Mayan ruins as well as aquatic fauna that inhabit these depths.
