The protection of cenotes

Cenotes must be very careful of contamination. Thats why, you must take the bronzer or sunscreen off before swimming in them. For the Mayans, the Cenotes are very important. Since they get the water from there to clean themselves, cook and drink. Even their animals drink from there. It is a source of life for them and it is how these communities lived and live today. It is even known that rituals were done to their deceased. Because they believed that through these cenotes they connected to the underworld and that they would see them at some time

We live here for many years and we are in love with the Cenotes de Coba. We belong to a community in Coba called Chococacao Maya. Where we make cocoa and artisan chocolate, we also make honey from the Melipona bee. Which is the only one that does not have a sting and produces exquisite honey.
