Yucatán rejolladas (sacred Maya cacao groves)
Mexico · Northern Yucatán Peninsula (Yucatán state)
초안
In the dry northern Yucatán lowlands, ancient Maya cultivated cacao in rejolladas — soil-filled karst sinkholes that supplied the humidity and shade cacao needs in a climate otherwise too dry for the crop. Recent soil-biomarker studies led by Richard Terry (Brigham Young University) and collaborators identified at least nine ancient sacred cacao groves in rejolladas and cenotes, recovering ceramic offerings including miniature cacao-pod effigies. The area is included here as a historical refugium and ongoing archaeological / ethnobotanical site rather than a current commercial origin.
