The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before you go

Drink water the morning of your tour—the jungle and physical activity dehydrate faster than you think.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes protect your feet on ATVs and while climbing zipline platforms.

Protect electronics

Cameras and phones are not allowed during activities—bring a waterproof case for the cenote and lock valuables on site.

Listen to the safety briefing

Guides enforce weight/waist limits and driving rules; following instructions keeps the experience fun for everyone.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • On-site tequila tasting and pre-Hispanic show gives quick cultural context without leaving the park
  • Short forest sidetracks near the parking area often reveal quiet limestone outcrops and small sinkholes worth a quick look

Wildlife

  • Tropical birds such as motmots and kingfishers
  • Occasional howler monkeys heard in the canopy

Conservation Note

The park charges a conservation fee and restricts electronics during activities to limit disturbance; choose reef-safe products and avoid single-use plastics to reduce impact.

Cenotes are natural sinkholes formed in the porous limestone of the Yucatán and were essential freshwater sources for Maya communities; many sites today balance tourism with cultural interpretation.
