The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before you go

Bring at least 1–2 liters of water; tropical heat and physical activity dehydrate quickly.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes protect feet on ATVs and on rocky cenote edges.

Mind the camera rules

Cameras and phones are often restricted during activities; use lockers or waterproof cases provided.

Book morning or late sessions

Avoid peak sun and larger crowds by choosing the first or last departures of the day.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small colonial-style hacienda on-site for a guided tequila tasting and local snacks
  • Shallow ledges at the cenote’s edge that make for calm entry points and good photo framing

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Great curassow and tropical songbirds

Conservation Note

The park charges conservation fees and enforces rules—no sunscreen in the water, restricted cameras during activities, and controlled group sizes—to protect the cenote and surrounding jungle.

Cenotes are karst formations common across the Yucatán; the Maya used them for water and ritual activity. Modern eco-parks pair these natural features with interpreted cultural elements.
