The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect your feet during the ATV section and when walking uneven cenote edges.

Bring a waterproof phone case or leave devices behind

Cameras and phones are often restricted during active elements—secure them in a waterproof case or locker to avoid damage.

Hydrate and eat lightly beforehand

Humidity and adrenaline can dehydrate quickly; drink water before the tour and avoid heavy meals right before the ATV ride.

Listen to the safety briefing

Guides will cover driving rules, weight/height limits for ziplines, and how to enter the cenote safely—following them reduces risk and speeds the group along.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small artisan stalls near the departure point selling handcrafted hammocks and local sweets
  • A shaded platform near the cenote perfect for a quiet coffee away from the main group

Wildlife

  • White-tailed deer
  • Tropical birds such as motmots and flycatchers

Conservation Note

Parks along the route charge conservation fees that support site maintenance; visitors should use biodegradable sunscreen and avoid leaving trash to protect fragile karst aquifers.

The Ruta de los Cenotes follows a landscape shaped by Maya travel and limestone dissolution; cenotes were vital freshwater sources and feature prominently in Maya cosmology.

Common Questions

How long is the ATV portion?

The ATV segment lasts about 30 minutes along muddy and bumpy jungle trails designed for fun rather than long-distance travel.

Are there age or weight limits?

Minimum age to participate in activities is 4 (with adult). Drivers must be 16+ accompanied by an adult or 18+ to drive solo; ziplines have a maximum weight around 120 kg (265 lb).

Is swimming in the cenote supervised?

Yes—guides supervise cenote access and provide instructions for safe entry and exit; lifeguards may not always be present, so follow staff guidance closely.

Is transportation included?

Round-trip transportation from most Cancún-area hotels is typically included, though pickup time excludes travel delays, so allow extra time for traffic.
