We are planning a deep cenote and cave diving adventure trip in November of 2010 into the central Yucatan.
In wide areas around Merida, where hundreds of acres of land are full of the Algarve plants which are grown to produce the material for the ropes who where once used around the world for sail ships and transport, and were made out of this natural fiber. The ruins of old haciendas, huge estates, are to be seen in almost every village across the country side.
These remains, around 100-150 years old and out of colonial times look very beautiful, picturesque and romantic, but yet remind you on to the hardship of the local population who harvested and cultivated the vast plantations and haciendas. Ones rich beyond believe, these ruins today are only a fragment what the natural fiber Heneken and it’s industry once have been before ropes were made out of synthetic fibers.
The trip out to the Cenote Chacsinicche, who involves a ride on one of these old horse powered mini railroad trains, through plantations that stretch for hours, this ride provided the time for me to reflect on my thoughts about the people who live here in the center of the Yucatan peninsula.
Only a few Heneken factories are still producing, since the price for Heneken is very low but the production is very labor intensive and under the same conditions then at the time of the industrial revolution. A trip to the Cenotes around Merida is a travel back in time when steam machines where powering noisy machinery.
This 10 day long adventure will bring O/C cave divers as well as CCR Rebreather cave divers into the little explored caves and sinkholes of central Yucatan. A good dose of Yucatecan hospitality, food and scenery can be expected.
