ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Swim: Half-Day Adventure from Cancun to Puerto Morelos
A compact half-day circuit that compresses jungle ziplines, a shared ATV loop, and a swim in a real Mayan cenote—convenient pickup from Cancun’s Hotel Zone makes it an efficient adrenaline-and-nature combo.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect reef ecosystems and avoid heavy lotions before the cenote swim.
Secure loose items
Use a small dry bag or leave phones in lockers—ziplines and ATVs easily dislodge unsecured gear.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are dusty and rocky; shoes that can get wet are best for the whole itinerary.
Hydrate before arrival
Tropical heat and adrenaline dehydrate quickly—drink water during hotel pickup and between activities.

Cenotes were crucial water sources and ritual sites for the Maya; the region evolved from fishing hamlets to tourism anchors after mid-20th-century coastal development.
