The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and during the trip

Tropical heat and dust make regular water intake essential — bring a refillable bottle or use provided drinks between activities.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV sections and uneven pathways demand sturdy footwear; sandals are not recommended for the off-road portions.

Pack a small dry bag

Protect your phone and camera during the cenote swim and on ziplines to prevent water or dust damage.

Mind the sun and rain

Sunscreen and a light rain layer will cover early sun exposure and quick tropical showers, especially in summer.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask for a brief stop at an elevated canopy platform for unobstructed jungle views
  • Check small craft-market stalls near the meeting area for fresh fruit and local treats after the trip

Wildlife

  • Great kiskadee and other tropical birds
  • Small coatis and iguanas along quieter trails

Conservation Note

Operators often limit vehicle numbers and provide lockers and waste bins; stick to trails and avoid sunscreen directly in cenote water to protect aquatic ecology.

The Yucatán’s limestone and cenote network supported ancient Maya settlements and ritual use of sinkholes for water; modern tours run across those same karst features.

What to Bring

Closed-toe hiking or trail shoesEssential

Protects your feet on ATVs, trail approaches, and during wet-to-dry transitions at the cenote.

Quick-dry swimwear and towelEssential

Sunscreen and a wide-brim hatEssential

Tropical UV is strong even in the shade; protect exposed skin between activities.

Small dry bag or waterproof phone case

Keeps electronics and small items safe during the cenote and on ziplines.
