Frightened, they left their houses to see what had happened. Near a well was a large ceibo tree 3 meters wide and 15 meters high, which fell and opened a sinkhole measuring approximately 20 by 20 meters and unknown depth. The monumental ceibo tree went to the bottom of the sinkhole.
After the incident, some fans and connoisseurs of Mayan culture referred to the underworld of that pre-Hispanic culture.
