The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a small dry bag

Keep your phone, ID and any snacks in a compact waterproof pouch—cenote areas and ATVs can spray mud and water.

Closed-toe shoes only

ATV sections and the zipline platforms require sturdy trainers; sandals are unsafe and usually not permitted.

Hydrate before you go

Carry a refillable bottle and drink before the activity—humidity and sunscreen increase dehydration risk.

Expect variable trail conditions

If it’s rained recently, tracks can be slippery; choose a morning slot in the wet season for firmer terrain.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside stalls along Ruta de los Cenotes selling fresh coconut water and local snacks
  • A short spur trail to a less-visited sinkhole rim for a quiet photo stop away from the main cenote

Wildlife

  • Great-tailed grackle
  • Howler monkey (occasional)

Conservation Note

Stick to marked paths and avoid sunscreen-contaminated water—use biodegradable products when possible and follow guides’ instructions to minimize impact.

Cenotes were essential water sources for the Maya; many sites along the Ruta de los Cenotes were used for both daily life and ritual purposes centuries ago.
