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.

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.
