Cenote 2 ojos is a “system” of cenotes that connect into a very large cavern that they share. They appear to be two eyes that’s why the name “Cenote 2 ojos”.

After the boat left us we dive into the deepnes of the Coral Reef to find all kinds of lifeforms that habitate in the Reef. On the coral reefs (in contrast with familiar terrestrial ecosystems) plants aren’t the only group of organisms to play a major role in the production (wich means the creation of “new” biomass). Within coral reef ecosystems two other (both very different) types of life forms also play a critical role providing all the food that supports the rest of the ecosystem thar grows around the reef.

The two groups of life forms taking care of the biomass production are: A)The Cyanobacteria, and the B) The Marine “algae” – a diverse assortment of living things within the Kingdom Protista. The Coral reef “autotrophs” (those organisms that can synthesize new “food” from simple, non-living precursors) are therefore represented by 3 groups: Marine Plants, Marine Algae, Cyanobacteria.

First, let’s talk about where do cenotes come from. Sixty five millon years ago, the creataceous period come to a violent close when a meteor of the size of manhattan travelling at more than 20 miles a second slammed into a shalow seafloor on the yucatan peninsula of Mexico.

This devastating event caused a radical change on the planet by eliminating 50% of all the existing species an giving way to the current existence of a ring of cenotes in the yucatan peninsula near Tulum. The name of this meteorite, is Chicxulub. Visiting a Cenote is getting closer to Chicxulub’s consecuences and where all new lifeforms where initiated.
