We laid in hammocks as our tour guide Petrus told us tales about the steam lodges. We got to actually go in and experience the steam lodge ourselves. Our favorite part was the cenote. To the Mayas, cenotes are tunnels to the underworld (sacred sinkholes of the Maya). The Mayans considered cenotes sacred not only because they were sources of water, but also because each cenote was believed to be an entrance to the underworld. Sacrificial pottery, animals, and even humans were tossed into the watery depths as offerings, skeletons have been found at the bottom of many cenotes in the Yucatan. There was even a huge ceiba tree on the shore, which is supposed to connect our world to the overworld.*$80 a person, lunch was included.
