ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure from Cancun — Jungle Rides and Cenote Swim
Combine jungle ATVs, a treetop zipline circuit and a swim in a sacred cenote on this 5–6 hour adventure from Cancún. Expect muddy trails, secure harnessed ziplines and a refreshing Mayan lunch to cap the day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes are sensitive ecosystems—use biodegradable sunscreen and rinse off before entering the water.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are muddy with occasional water crossings; sturdy shoes protect feet and improve control.
Hydrate and time your trip
Start in the morning to avoid afternoon storms and heat; drink water before and during the tour.
Secure loose items
Use a small waterproof pack or locker—phones and cameras can be damaged on ATVs and ziplines.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small roadside Mayan spice stalls near the meeting area serving pickled habanero and roasted pumpkin seeds
- •A quiet shallow ledge in the cenote where light filters through a roof opening—great for photos and a cooler dip
Wildlife
- •Great kiskadee (vocal jungle bird)
- •Howler monkey (distant calls in early morning)
Conservation Note
Operators rely on established cenote etiquette—no sunscreen or glitter-based products in the water and limited group sizes—to protect fragile aquatic habitats and water clarity.
Cenotes were vital freshwater sources and ritual sites for the Maya; many caves in the Yucatán formed as rainwater dissolved limestone over millennia creating the sinkholes visitors swim in today.
