Technology serving the land

Information to discover, protect and connect with cenotes. Cenote Scout turns scattered data into an accessible tool for visitors, communities and the people who manage these places.

01

Public access

Clear, traceable information available in two languages.

02

Heritage and conservation

Better knowledge to encourage responsible visits and care for the aquifer.

03

Local development

Greater visibility for communities and projects rooted in the region.

Biodiversity also leaves data

In our pilot areas we bring together public iNaturalist observations to show which organisms have been documented near cenotes, while respecting licences and sensitive locations.

Records also reflect observation effort and do not by themselves measure the health of a cenote.

Three Cenote Scout app screens: explore, map and cenote details

Cenote Scout will also be an app.

We are building a more practical way to save cenotes and check their information during your visit.

  • Save the cenotes you want to visit.
  • Compare your options before setting out.
  • Check reported access, payment and facilities.

Understand the land

Learn how cenotes form, the place they hold in Maya culture and why visiting them also means caring for the aquifer.
