The Experience

Before You Go

Footwear and Grip

Closed-toe shoes with a good tread are essential for ATV control and slippery cenote edges.

Hydrate Beforehand

Bring and fill a reusable water bottle—humidity and sun on ATVs drain energy fast.

Watch the Weight Limit

Ziplines often cap weight at 130 kg/286 lb—confirm with the operator before booking.

Swim Readiness

You should be comfortable entering deeper water; life jackets are usually provided but basic swim ability helps.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Photograph the cenote rim from the hanging bridge for a shaded, dramatic vantage point
  • Ask guides about nearby small cenotes on the Ruta de los Cenotes—less-visited spots often lie a short drive away

Wildlife

  • Howler monkeys (often heard more than seen)
  • Coatis and a variety of tropical birds like trogons

Conservation Note

Cenote water is sensitive—avoid non-biodegradable sunscreens, follow guide instructions, and limit plastic near pools to protect groundwater and aquatic life.

Cenotes are sinkholes in Yucatán’s limestone karst and were central to ancient Maya water systems and ritual life; modern park sites often sit near historic routes and rural communities.
