The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a change of clothes

You’ll finish muddy and damp after the ATV and cenote; a dry set of clothes for the return ride keeps you comfortable.

Reef-safe sunscreen only

Wear sunscreen labeled oxybenzone-free before the cenote swim to protect freshwater ecosystems and meet site rules.

Secure loose items

Use zippered pockets or a dry bag — phones and sunglasses can fly off during zips and ATV bumps.

Hydrate before the tour

Start well-hydrated and carry a refillable bottle; tropical heat plus physical activity increases dehydration risk.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides for the quieter shallow ledge in the cenote where fish gather
  • A roadside mangrove viewpoint near the site often hosts colorful shorebirds at dawn

Wildlife

  • green iguana
  • tropical bird species (motmots, kingfishers)

Conservation Note

Operators often require reef-safe sunscreen and limit site impact; follow guide instructions, avoid single-use plastics, and don’t feed wildlife.

Cenotes formed the Yucatán’s freshwater network and were central to Maya life and ritual; many sites still hold cultural significance.
