Sacred Cenote

Well known in pre-Hispanic times as the dwelling place of the rain God Chac.
Ritual offerings were thrown into the deep water from above.

The objects included simple household items, clay figures, vases and plates, semi-precious stone and gold jewelry to, occasionally, human beings.
