The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated

The park is hot and humid; drink water before the ATV portion and bring a refillable bottle for the day.

Protect the cenote

Apply biodegradable sunscreen at least 30 minutes before swimming or use a towel to remove excess to reduce contamination.

Wear sturdy shoes

Closed-toe shoes with good grip are essential for ATV controls and short jungle walks to the cenote.

Listen to guides

Guides provide ATV briefings and zipline safety; ask questions but follow instructions precisely for a safe run.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask to pause on a hanging-bridge for a shady photo angle—the understory reveals birds and epiphytes few visitors notice.
  • Explore the cenote perimeter after swimming; small limestone ledges often host freshwater shrimp and clear pools perfect for quiet reflection.

Wildlife

  • Black iguana
  • Great egret

Conservation Note

Operators often ask guests to avoid applying creams before swimming and to use park-designated trails—reducing contamination and erosion helps protect fragile groundwater and karst formations.

Cenotes are part of the Yucatán’s porous limestone aquifer network and held spiritual and practical importance for the Maya as freshwater sources and ritual sites.
