Tajma Ha is the subterranean Maya version of this natural world wonder and is named by a local cave diver mixing the words “Ha” which means “water” with the original Indian name. Tajma Ha was inspired by the captivating beauty of the Indian Taj Mahal. The part of the coral reef that is above the sea-level today is currently known as the Yucatan peninsula. For thousands of years sea-levels kept progressively rising, flooding the caves.
Once exposed to the atmosphere the slightly acid rain dissolved the limestone forming an extensive cave network.Īt that time the cenotes were still dry, because the sea level was more than 100 meters lower than it is today. In these glacial periods the sea level changed many times exposing the coral reef out of the ocean. Underneath that white soil lies the Riviera Maya, an extended network of underground rivers stretching throughout the entire peninsula.ĭuring the last Ice Age, approximately 22.000 years ago, was its peak in glacier activities. The Maya use to call this ground “saskab” or white floor. The soil consists out of limestone and becomes soluble when it rains. When you visit the Yucatan peninsula you immediately notice how flat is it, there are no mountains or hills to be seen.
