ATV, Zipline & Hidden Cenotes: Riviera Maya Jungle Adventure
Ride ATVs through limestone tracks, soar ziplines over jungle canopy and cool off in two dramatic cenotes along the Ruta de los Cenotes. This half-day Riviera Maya experience pairs adrenaline with geology and Mayan water history—ideal for outdoor travelers wanting variety in one outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenote ecosystems are sensitive—use reef-safe or biodegradable sunscreen to reduce contamination of underground waters.
Wear closed-toe shoes for ATVs
Sturdy trainers or lightweight hiking shoes protect your feet on dusty, uneven jungle tracks and during brief hikes to platforms.
Carry a small dry bag
Protect phone, wallet and camera when switching between ziplines, ATVs and swims; lockers are available but limited.
Budget extra time for the conservation fee
A mandatory Mayan Jungle Conservation Fee is paid on-site—have local currency (MXN) ready to avoid delays.
