Conservation Note
Parks enforce use of biodegradable sunscreens and restrict where visitors can swim to protect fragile cave formations and groundwater; follow guide instructions and stay on marked paths.
Cenotes were vital freshwater sources for Maya communities and often used for ritual offerings; the limestone karst of the Yucatán shaped both settlement and myth.
