The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and during the tour

Five hours in heat and humidity requires extra water; drink before boarding and take small sips between activities.

Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes

ATV trails are dusty and can be slippery; sturdy shoes improve control and comfort.

Bring biodegradable sunscreen

Oils and chemicals harm cenote ecosystems; use reef-safe or biodegradable sunscreen and rinse off before swimming.

Carry small cash

Optional ATV insurance, lockers and extra snacks are cash-only at the park, so bring small bills.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask to visit a quieter cenote inlet often skipped by groups for clearer water and fewer swimmers.
  • Climb the highest zipline platform early in the day for uninterrupted jungle views and better light for photos.

Wildlife

  • Tropical birds such as motmots and toucans
  • Coatis and iguanas sunning on trail edges

Conservation Note

Parks often require biodegradable sunscreen and urge guests to avoid soaps in cenotes; small entrance fees typically support trail maintenance and water protection programs.

Cenotes are part of the Yucatán’s karst system and were vital to Mayan life and ritual; many parks include interpretive notes about local sites and traditions.
