The water of the Mayan jungle flows slowly to the ocean by these wonderful and giantic systems, the largest in the world.
Adding to this, thanks to the effect of the water level changes in the past, these fantastic flooded caverns are richly decorated with staligtites, stalagmites and columns with a variety of archeological, biological, anthropological and paleotological treasures. They are UNIQUE to the world.
A shadow of destruction has began to cover our environment. It is urgent that the Mexican Goverment and State take action to stop and prevent more destruction. It is an important task to decree the cenotes and the underground systems of Quintana Roo as natural protected areas and, in a near future, as a heritage site.
We demand legal protection of the cenotes, the underground river systems and their buffer zones. We can not allow environmental predators to destroy more, to them we send a warning: Aguas con los cenotes!!
