About this audio guide
This guide to Cenote Multum-Ha near Cobá follows the families whose land held a hidden underground chamber, and the choice they faced once they found it: a hazard to fence off, or a wonder to share. You will hear how a small gap in the jungle floor became a stairway, and how a cooperative of neighbors turned a dangerous sinkhole into a livelihood. It touches the cenote's Maya name and its two sister sinkholes nearby. Listen for where the staircase still shows the marks of that first, uncertain descent.
