Day 2 - Cenote Visit
We start our day with our relaxing yoga. Our afternoon adventure begins after lunch where you will step back in time. An antique cart pulled by a horse is the mode of transportation used on this trip to see three spectacular cenotes (Seh-no-tehs). The carts were used during the sisal booming days of the late 1800´s to transport the harvested plant back to the hacienda machine houses where they were processed into a finished product such as rope. We will be traveling through the lush sisal plantations of the Yucatan with three wonderful refreshing cenotes as the goal of the trip, this day trip is something truly unique and unforgettable.
Cenotes are sinkhole formation unique to this part of the world. In the Yucatán there are over 3000 cenotes, with only 1400 actually studied and registered. They are magical places that were once the only resource for fresh, sweet water in the local Yucatecan jungle. They were the sacred places of the Mayas for that reason, but also because they represented the entrance to the underworld.Meals- Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
