Ultimate Adventure Combo: ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Near Cancun
Swap the beach for a six-hour rush through Yucatán jungle: ATVs punch through rutted tracks, ziplines spool you over trees and water, and a Mayan cenote offers a cool finale. Read on for what to expect and how to prepare.
The Experience
Before You Go
Closed-toe footwear
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes for ATVs and uneven jungle paths; sandals are unsafe on the trail.
Biodegradable sunscreen
Use reef- and cenote-safe sunscreen—many parks prohibit chemical sunscreens to protect freshwater ecosystems.
Bring a towel and dry bag
Pack a towel and a small dry bag for valuables—lockers are usually provided but things get wet in the cenote.
Know your limits on jumps
Platforms and zipline jumps are optional—observe guides, and don’t feel pressured into cliff jumps if you’re uncomfortable.

Conservation Note
Parks often enforce rules to protect cenotes—biodegradable products, no littering, and controlled visitor numbers help preserve delicate karst aquifers.
Cenotes were freshwater sources and sacred spaces for the Maya; the Yucatán’s karst system shapes both local ecology and archaeological history.
