| Cenotes are truly one of Mexico's most beautiful and exotic landscapes and are unique to the Riviera. The word Cenote comes from the word Dzonot which means water cavity. Cenotes were of great importance because not only were they sacred places but they were the only way of reaching fresh water in the jungle. There exists a whole variety of Cenotes ranging from pools of clear water to underwater caves and passages that contain the precious resource that is water. |
 |
||||
|
|
|||||
| Mayan Cave - The Mayan world was upside down. Heaven was below ground in an 'underworld' of caves, guarded by fantastic beasts and gods. The religious beliefs of the ancient Mayas always represented a sort of cyclic duality which was explained to them by nature itself. Caves had a very significant importance in their culture because they were considered to be a portal of communication with their gods, a characteristic true of many ancient Mesoamerican cultures such as the Maya. |
 |
||||
|
|
|||||
| Grotto Ixchel - Goddess I of the codices, she is said to be Goddess of the Moon, Wife of the Sun and a High Deity of Reproduction. Ixchel was the greatest Mayan goddess, her numeric and symbolic ascendancy refers to a variety of sacred nuclei in terrestrial and celestial orders. |
 |
||||
|
|
|||||
| Grotto El Dorado - Five million years ago, the 84 hectares that encompass the park were below sea level. One-hundred and twenty-five million years ago, the Wisconsin Glacier ground the sea bed into the exotic and fascinating formations we see today, compressing the rock and limestone beds and creating the Inlet. |
 |
||||
|
|
|||||
| Floating Bridge - The 80 meter floating bridge is an opportunity to get face to face with nature and to relax in the calm breeze that enters from the sea. Our Floating Bridge at Xel-Ha is an engineering masterpiece and we are proud to say that no other water park has such a spectacular bridge. |

Mayan Wall - A remnant from the days as
