Coba Jungle Adventure: Zipline, Cenote Rappel & Mayan Taco Fiesta (Private Tour)
Climb Coba’s Nohoch Mul, fly through canopy ziplines, rappel into a freshwater cenote and finish with a Mayan Taco Fiesta — a private full‑day mix of history, adrenaline and local culture.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water per person and sip regularly — heat and humidity make the pyramid climb and jungle activities deceptively taxing.
Footwear for mixed terrain
Wear closed-toe hiking shoes or trail runners with good grip; paths at Coba are uneven and the cenote approach can be slippery.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before entering cenote waters to protect the aquatic ecosystem; reapply only after exiting the water.
Bring small cash
Carry small bills for local vendors, tips for guides, and purchases at community stalls — card acceptance can be limited.

Conservation Note
Cenotes are part of a fragile aquifer system — use reef‑safe products, avoid entering with sunscreen applied when possible, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
Coba was a pre‑Columbian Mayan city linked by sacbeob (white roads); Nohoch Mul served as a regional ceremonial site and lookout.
