Cenotes
¿Qué significa "cenote" en la frase siguente por favor?

En la selva se pueden encontrar varios cenotes utilizados en antiguos ritos mayas.

I have found this definition for cenote : is a sinkhole with exposed rocky edges containing groundwater. It seems the same word is used in English...

Cenotes are water filled caves, sometimes partly exposed to the sun as well.
Cenotediving is very popular especially in some parts in Yucatan/ Mexico or so I am told

Ahora que lo dices, Tinkerbell es un nombre muy bonito. En español es Campanilla.

I didn't know what Cenotes meant until Crotalito, very kindly, explained it to me:

Me acuerdo de estes cenotes de cuando estuve en México y también porque ha sido el lugar de una prueba de mi programa preferido llamado ' El Topo'

Es un programa en él que hay 10 concursantes en un país extranjero donde tienen que hacer pruebas (como bucear en un cenote ) para gañar dinero, pero hay un traidor(a) que intenta sabotear las pruebas.

El programa ha sido pasado (?) en la tele en los Estados Unidos ('The Mole'), Inglaterra ('The Mole') y España (' El Topo') también (nunca he visto los episodios de 'El Topo' por desgracia' ..

No me gustan mucho los "realities" (en España se denominan así estos programas, tipo Gran Hermano, Big Brother). Supongo que como es una palabra inglesa, en los países angloparlantes también se denominarán así.

De verdad a mi tampoco no me gustan los realities En verdad no les veo.. pero esto programa (según mi opinión en cualquier caso ) es diferente porque es un juego psicológico de una manera.

Es eso que creo que es el (lo?) interesante. No me gustan las eries como 'survivor' etc Son todas las mismas, y también es una manera de 'maltratea' de gente. Big Brother me da vergüenza de decirlo , es un programa de origen holandés (también llamando ' Big Brother aquí) y nunca he entendido lo que la gente crean sea interesante de mirar unas personas en una casa, aburridas y chismorreandas
