The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed‑toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect feet during the ATV laps and the cenote approach where trails can be rocky.

Bring a quick‑dry set

Pack a swim top and a towel; changing rooms are available but space is limited after the cenote swim.

Hydrate before departure

The tropical heat and high adrenaline make pre‑hydration important—drink water before you leave your hotel and carry a refillable bottle.

Secure valuables

Use the provided lockers or a waterproof pouch—phones and wallets don’t mix well with dust, mud and cenote jumps.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the quiet pier in Puerto Morelos for local ceviche and artisanal stalls
  • Small cenote ledges offer micro‑spots for quiet observation away from the main jumping platforms

Wildlife

  • Tropical birds such as motmots and parrots
  • Freshwater fish and small catfish in cenote shallows

Conservation Note

Tour operators typically limit group sizes and provide changing rooms to reduce shoreline impact; avoid sunscreens with oxybenzone to protect freshwater ecosystems.

Cenotes were vital freshwater sources and held cultural importance for the Maya; many sites around Puerto Morelos are on karst limestone created over millennia.
