Building built above a limestone rock that hides the presence of a cenote, and has a portico with three entrances

The Casa del Cenote is a building constructed above a limestone rock that conceals the presence of a cenote. Cenotes used to offer fresh water to the inhabitants, but the water in this one is now brackish and dirty, due to bat droppings. The building has a portico with three entrances and two stone benches inside. In the center of the building is a tomb. Its presence not far from the cenote is explained by the fact that, for the Maya, these natural cavities represented the entrance to Xibalbá, the underworld.

Un des premiers édifices que l'on peut voir une fois sur le site archéologique de Tulum. Comme son nom l'indique, ce batiment servait de point d'entrée à une cénote mais inaccessible aux visiteurs.
