The Experience
Before You Go
Hydration and heat management
Bring at least 1.5L of water and sip regularly — humid heat will drain energy faster than distance indicates.
Closed-toe shoes only
ATV and zipline platforms require sturdy, closed-toe footwear; sandals are not advised for driving or trail sections.
Zipline weight limit
The zipline enforces a maximum weight of 130 kg (286 lb); check limits before booking and inform guides of any concerns.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before arrival and avoid lotions that can contaminate cenote water.

Conservation Note
