The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV trails are dusty with roots and rocks; sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes protect your feet during rides and short trail walks.

Bring a swimsuit and quick-dry towel

You’ll enter a cenote for a supervised swim, so have swimwear and a towel ready to change after the water.

Hydrate before you arrive

Tropical heat and physical activity make pre-trip hydration important — purified water refills are provided on site.

Use biodegradable sunscreen and repellent

The site requests eco-friendly products to protect the cenote and nearby marine environment.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short coastal pier and quiet town square in Puerto Morelos for fresh ceviche after the tour
  • A shallow cenote alcove where light filters through a small collapse — quieter than larger tourist cenotes

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical birds (kingfishers and motmots)

Conservation Note

Operators encourage biodegradable products and limit litter; the nearby reef is a protected marine park — avoid sunscreen runoff and follow guide instructions to reduce impact.

Cenotes are karst sinkholes central to Maya water systems and ceremonial life; Puerto Morelos evolved from a fishermen’s settlement into a gateway for Riviera Maya nature tours.
