The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATVs and ziplines require secure footwear—avoid sandals to protect toes and improve control.

Bring a swimsuit and quick-dry towel

You’ll want to swim or cliff-jump in the cenote; a towel and swimsuit make the transition fast and comfortable.

Hydrate and use reef-safe sunscreen

Bring water and apply biodegradable sunscreen before entering the cenote to protect skin and the ecosystem.

Declare weight and health conditions

Operators enforce a 124 kg (approx) weight limit and ask about health conditions—disclose anything that might affect safety.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides about small side caverns near the cenote for quieter swim spots
  • Short forest trails near the base often host native bird species and are less busy between groups

Wildlife

  • Great kiskadee and other tropical birds
  • Small coatis and lizards along jungle trails

Conservation Note

Choose operators that limit group sizes, avoid feeding wildlife, and request guests use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce chemical runoff into groundwater and cenotes.

Cenotes are part of the Yucatán’s karst landscape and held both practical and ceremonial importance for Mayan communities; many local guides discuss this cultural link.
