Cenote XCabachen de Mani

To the south of the state of Yucatán is the town of Maní, one of the oldest pre-Hispanic Mayan towns. It is currently on the list of the convents route. In the center, on Calle 25 con 26, under the shadow of a huge ceiba tree, the sacred tree of the Mayans, is the entrance to the Xcabach'e'en cenote. Xcabachen is a magical place that in Mayan means "well", since the structure of the cenote refers to a well.

An ancient legend tells that the end of the world will come due to the lack of water, the entire earth will be involved in a prolonged drought that will put all the peoples of humanity on the brink of disappearance. The ancient Mayans, those who interpret the prophecies, that on that day from all over the world will come to the town of Maní in search of water, and at the door of the cenote of Xcabachen an old Mayan woman will sit to distribute the water.
