It is a sinkhole that flooded caves found in some deep, have collapsed due to the roof of one or more caves. There groundwater meet, forming a more or less deep pond. There are several types of sinkholes: open pit and underground or semi-open cave. This classification is directly related to the age of the cenote, cenotes being mature those that are completely open and the youngest who still retain their leadership intact.
Like many other geomorphologic structures, the cenotes are transient structures that eventually may end up stuffed and dried, becoming part of what is known as a paleo karst.
