The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Ziplines and ATVs require sturdy footwear—sandals are not recommended; bring shoes that can get wet and muddy.

Respect weight limits

Operators list weight limits for ziplines (130 kg) and horses (120 kg); verify for your booking to avoid surprises.

Bring biodegradable sunscreen

The cenote and forest are sensitive—use reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen to protect water quality and local ecosystems.

Hydrate and time your ride

The circuit runs about four hours; drink water before boarding and use the included water during breaks—avoid heavy meals right before ATVs.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the hanging bridges slowly to watch how the canopy changes—early morning has more bird activity.
  • Ask guides about small cenote features like flowstone ledges and shallow pools for easy photos.

Wildlife

  • Tropical birds (motmots, kingfishers)
  • Small coatis and agoutis foraging in understory

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize not to use reef-harming sunscreens and to follow marked paths—cenote ecosystems are fragile and recover slowly from contamination.

The Yucatán’s cenotes were freshwater sources for ancient Maya settlements and still mark the karst landscape that shaped trade and settlement patterns.
