ATV, Ziplines & Sacred Cenote: Half-Day Adventure from Puerto Morelos
Drive through jungle tracks, fly over the canopy on ziplines, then jump into a sacred cenote on this half-day from Puerto Morelos. Expect a compact, adrenaline-packed loop combining off-road ATV time, mid-canopy ziplines and a refreshing cenote swim.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are rocky and can be slippery; sturdy closed-toe shoes protect your feet and improve control.
Use biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes and the surrounding groundwater are sensitive—choose reef-safe or biodegradable sunscreen to protect aquatic life.
Know the weight and age limits
Ziplines and ATVs have strict weight and age restrictions—confirm limits before booking and bring ID for drivers.
Plan for morning pickup
Morning departures avoid the hottest part of the day and usually mean quieter cenote waters and better visibility.

Conservation Note
Operators encourage use of biodegradable products and limit visitor impact, but these ecosystems remain fragile—avoid touching formations and follow guide instructions to protect water quality.
The cenotes form where limestone collapsed above underground rivers; the Maya regarded some cenotes as sacred sources of life and ritual, and many in this region were important settlement sites.
