Cenotes form because the Yucatan Peninsula has essentially no rivers or lakes on its surface: rainwater drains straight down through the region's porous limestone bedrock into a vast network of underground rivers and caverns. A cenote is simply the point where the thin limestone ceiling over that hidden water table has collapsed, opening a sinkhole down to the water below — some fully open to the sky, others still roofed by rock and reached through a narrow cave mouth. Homun sits within the state-designated Anillo de Cenotes, or Ring of Cenotes reserve, a band of sinkholes that traces the buried rim of the Chicxulub crater, left by the asteroid impact linked to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs roughly 65 to 66 million years ago — the ancient impact fractured the limestone here in a way that made this particular stretch of the peninsula unusually rich in cenotes.
The ancient Maya didn't see these sinkholes as simply a water source. Many cenotes were traditionally regarded as portals to Xibalba, the underworld, and used as sites of ritual and offering to the gods — a belief rooted in Maya cosmology rather than something presented here as literal, settled fact, but one that still shapes how many cenotes in the region are talked about and treated today.
Homun itself, a small town roughly 55 kilometers southeast of Merida, is known for having one of the highest concentrations of cenotes anywhere on the peninsula — by some counts around a dozen are regularly visited, though no one has ever formally tallied every sinkhole in the area. This tour covers five of them within easy reach of one another, with a private driver handling the logistics, a buffet lunch and all entrance fees included, and time set aside to walk the village itself rather than just moving from pool to pool.
