The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a waterproof phone pouch

Lockers are provided but keep a dry pouch for phones and documents during the cenote swim and ATV dust.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

ATV and horseback sections require good grip—avoid sandals or slippery soles.

Hydrate before you arrive

Heat and humidity can build quickly; drink water and avoid heavy meals immediately beforehand.

Know the age and license rules

You must be 18 with a valid driver's license to operate an ATV alone—confirm if a guardian is needed for younger drivers.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Quiet stable walkways at El Rey Polo Club—great for photos away from the main lawn
  • A shallow ledge inside the cenote where light refracts through limestone—look for small freshwater fish

Wildlife

  • Iguanas sunning on limestone outcrops
  • Tropical birds (flycatchers and orioles) moving through the canopy

Conservation Note

Cenotes are sensitive freshwater systems—use biodegradable sunscreen, avoid touching formations, and follow operator rules to minimize impact.

Cenotes are part of the Yucatán’s karst landscape and held practical and ceremonial importance for Maya communities; many modern day tours visit these same sinkholes.
