The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a valid driver’s license

You must be 18+ with a valid driver’s license to drive solo; proof is checked before ATV use.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy shoes protect your feet on ATVs and provide traction for the zipline platforms and cenote edges.

Skip lotions before the cenote swim

Most parks ask you to rinse off sunscreen or avoid it entirely to protect fragile cenote ecosystems.

Time your visit to avoid peak heat

Morning or late-afternoon departures reduce midday heat and improve visibility for photos.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Smaller, less-visited cenotes along the Ruta de los Cenotes with clearer water and fewer crowds
  • A short coastal stop in Puerto Morelos for local seafood and reef views after the tour

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • tropical birds such as motmots and kingfishers

Conservation Note

Operators commonly require rinsing off sunscreen and using provided lockers to reduce trash; stay on marked paths to protect fragile cenote rims and jungle understory.

Cenotes were vital freshwater sources and ceremonial sites for the Maya; many along the Ruta de los Cenotes reveal cave passages and archaeological finds.
