The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and during

Carry a refillable water bottle—the climate is hot and you’ll be active for several hours; guides provide water but bring your own for comfort.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes protect your feet on ATVs and uneven jungle trails; sandals are not recommended.

Respect weight/age limits

Ziplines and ATVs have set maximum weights and minimum ages—confirm limits at booking to avoid onsite issues.

Use lockers and dry storage

Bring a small dry bag for phone/camera and use provided lockers for valuables during activities.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Shallow cenote ledges and sunlit swim shelves often quieter than the main swim area
  • Short jungle lookout points along ATV tracks reveal surprising coastal breezes and bird activity

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Tropical birds (kingfishers, motmots)

Conservation Note

Cenotes and the Yucatán aquifer are fragile—use biodegradable sunscreen, avoid littering, and follow guide instructions to protect water quality and fragile flora.

Cenotes were vital to the Maya as freshwater sources and ritual sites; many parks include brief ceremonial introductions reflecting that heritage.
