Many Mayan cities were built near cenotes, which served as vital water sources. Notable cities that featured cenotes include Chichen Itza, where the Sacred Cenote is located, and Tulum, which has several nearby cenotes. Other significant sites like Coba and Ek' Balam also had access to cenotes, reflecting their importance in Mayan culture and daily life. These natural sinkholes were often used for ritual purposes and as sources of freshwater.

The parts of the United States of American that are at most risk from cenotes are the Atlantic Seaboard states. These states experience great devastation from the breeding patterns of these insects.
Cenotes were important to the Maya for both practical and spiritual reasons. They provided a reliable source of freshwater in the Yucatan Peninsula, where surface water is scarce. Additionally, the Maya believed that cenotes were sacred portals to the underworld, making them important for religious ceremonies and sacrifices.
