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.

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.
