hello everybody today is another beautiful day here in Tulum and we are going to explore
two different sides first we're gonna go to the cenote
and we're going to see the castle el Castillo which is one of the oldest
ruins from the Mayans so if you want to see my explorations keep watching this video
and today is another day and now I am going to see the cenote
I can't wait to go inside and explore they're playing my favorite song by the
way
so this is the main entrance to get to the cenotes right now we're gonna pick up our
safety jackets so we can swim
I love this I feel like I'm in the middle of the jungle well
I don't feel like it. I am in the middle of the jungle look at this so beautiful love it
this is literally a paradise it's so beautiful so you're not allowed to drink the water from
the cenotes unless you are very thirsty I mean you can drink it but it might hurt your belly
so that's why they recommend not to drink it I feel like I'm in Jurassic Park right now
this is uh the spa
open-air spa
and finally, we are here at the Dos Ojos Cenotes this is the first eye the first opal
okay I need to walk and get closer beautiful cenote and I'm so happy because finally,
we got here to the cenotes like I was explaining to you before so notice
it's a natural limestone sinkhole and the water is so close so clear I can't wait to jump in it
a little bit of history about the cenotes they have been
here on planet earth for more than 65 million years everything started when a meteorite
came from far far away and landed here in Yucatan,
okay and the actual name is the ones that are up here and the ones that are down there
salad mites the ones that are down here are solid lines I was just with one of
the experts of the cenotes and he told me this is the goddess of the fertility goddess
is
Moreno
and this is the entrance of the castle
so Mayan ruins that we're going to explore and I'm going to show you very soon
and we are inside the castle and experts have identified that a feature of the temple spelled
to the wind god was a circular shape when seen from above and this is the case in Tulum
which is rare in Mayan architecture
the castle in Tulum is the biggest and one of the oldest buildings in the Mayan
archaeological site some remains dating back to the 6th century compared to the majority of
the buildings that are from the post-classical imagine period between the years 1200 and 1450
the castle is an imposing building right on the Caribbean seashore whose limestone walls
rise above sea level this function will not be so much of a watchtower as it is today it was more a
guy for navigators mainly friendly ships Tulum was a very important commercial port for the Mayans
that was a getaway for merchandise that arrived from the Gulf of Mexico central and south America
Tulum's coast is protected by a very long coral reef that
was an obstacle for sailors that didn't know Tulum's secret passage
this specific building was a house that was built on the limestone which then was
extended with a room placed directly over the whole the forms that are another
