The Experience

Before You Go

Bring biodegradable sunscreen

Cenote ecosystems are sensitive—use reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen and apply before arrival to minimize contamination.

Closed-toe shoes for ATVs

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with good tread for ATV sections and walking on limestone trails.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Drink water before and during the tour; the combination of sun, dust and exertion can dehydrate quickly.

Follow the safety briefing

Instructors give brief hands-on training for ATVs and ziplines—listen closely and ask questions before you go.

Conservation Note

Operators collect a conservation fee to support protection; visitors should avoid soaps in cenotes, use biodegradable products, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

Cenotes were crucial freshwater sources and held ritual significance for the Maya; the region’s karst topography created the sinkhole pools that define the Cenotes Route.
