The Experience

Before You Go

Bring biodegradable sunscreen

Cenotes are sensitive—use reef- and eco-friendly sunscreen to protect water quality.

Wear secure, closed-toe shoes

Trails and ATV runs include mud and roots; shoes with grip keep you steady.

Keep a dry bag for electronics

Ziplines and cenote swims can get you wet—protect phones and keys in a small dry pouch.

Hydrate before you start

Five hours under the sun and physical activity mean carry or drink water during breaks.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short hanging-bridge viewpoints that offer unobstructed canopy views
  • Shallow cenote ledges that make excellent spots for photos and cooling off without diving

Wildlife

  • Tropical birds (kingfishers, motmots)

Conservation Note

Stay on marked trails, avoid single-use plastics, and use biodegradable sunscreen to protect fragile cenote ecosystems.
