The Riviera Maya has mysteries and amazing underground rivers where the Maya kept their undiscovered secrets… Nowadays the Mayan Riviera has one of the most spectacular landscapes of the entire World!

Nestled between the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula and the Caribbean Sea lies a seemingly endless white sand beach dotted with quaint villages and stunning resorts.

The same reef system that lies off Cozumel runs parallel to this shore while the famous “cenotes” (caves and caverns) of this region are found in its jungle-thick interior.

A magic earth, full of arcane truths wound by a broad and lush forest, the Mayan Riviera offers boundless possibilities of diversion.

Historically struck by a meteorite (Chicxulub), the Riviera Maya is constituted by subsoil made of calcareous rock. During years and years, this entire ecosystem was created by dripping rain water that formed an underwater fantasy of magnificent stalagmites and stalactites of unrivaled beauty!

Spectacular rare delicate minerals rocks formation, ancient fossils and important archaeological discoveries have made that these underground rivers, that the Maya called dzonots (sacred wells), the Spanish (mangling the Mayan name as other many words) begun to called "Cenotes", became precious places of bewitching natural beauty! Unearthed bones, precious stones and ancient ceramics suggest the ancient Maya used cenotes; the experts suppose the Maya practice their ceremony to Gods in the Cenotes.

Sunlight penetrates multiple openings formed by the roots of the trees creating a lights' game on the caverns stalactites, that make this environment one of the best and suggestive places on Earth.

The delicate existence of the Cenotes in the Mayan Riviera must be recognized and respected! They are the “windows” to the most important assets - the water.

Along the Riviera Maya lies a mass of underground cavern systems that are one of the largest fresh water sources in the world. Transparent and translucent waters, clear and primordial environment, ivory lunar landscapes characterize the Cenotes. While diving the cenotes of the Riviera Maya, people can be witness the geological calendar.

The cenotes are all connected between them, some of them are accessible but underground, others to the light of the sun wound by the verdant forest of the Yucatan.

Divers began surveying these wells and caves in the 1980s,

Mr. Stephen Bogaerts and his fellow diver Robbie Schmittner from Germany, spends most of the time in the under-earth of the Mayan Riviera looking for a connection between Sac Actun and Nohoch Nah Chich. These two experienced divers have probably discovered the longer underground system of the entire world!
