Cancún Jungle Combo: ATV, Zipline, Cenote Swim & Horseback Ride
A one-day adrenaline loop from Cancún that pairs ATVs, high ziplines, a swim in a natural cenote and a relaxed horseback return. Small groups, local guides, and a mix of speed and stillness make this a compact taste of the Yucatán’s jungle.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Oils and typical sunscreens damage cenote water and fragile aquatic life—use reef-safe or biodegradable sunscreen and rinse before entering water.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are sandy, rutted and can be slippery near the cenote; closed-toe shoes with good tread reduce the risk of slips and protect your feet.
Secure electronics
Zipline platforms and dusty ATV runs threaten phones and cameras—use a waterproof case or leave valuables at the park locker.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Seven-hour days in heat can be draining—drink water before the tour and during breaks; alcohol is not advisable before ATVs or ziplines.

Cenotes were crucial freshwater sources for the Maya and often served as sites for ritual offerings; the surrounding lowland forest supported hunting and early settlement patterns.
