House in the Cenote (Casa del Cenote)

The house is located in the northeastern corner of Tulum and was built in two separate stages on the limestone roof of a cenote, which once contained drinking water. This well is now salty and unsuitable for drinking, as it now holds seawater. It has a veranda with three entrances and two benches inside. It rises above a valley where water collects during rain. To the east, there is a portico with columns, and inside— a bench and a sanctuary. Under the floor, a grave with the remains of several people was discovered, which was named after the cenote. The Maya believed that cenotes were gateways to Xibalba (the underworld).
