Full Jungle Adventure near Cancun: ATV Trails, 10 Ziplines & Cenote Swim
A seven-hour adrenaline loop through the Riviera Maya jungle: ride ATVs, cross suspension bridges, fly ten ziplines and cool off in Cenote Balam. This guide explains what to expect, practical prep, and safety notes before you book.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose items
Phones and sunglasses are not allowed on ziplines — use provided lockers or tuck items into zipped pockets before each activity.
Footwear for mixed terrain
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with good tread for ATV mud and the Skywalk planks; flip-flops are not permitted.
Hydrate and eat light
Bring a refillable bottle and eat a light breakfast; high exertion in heat can spike hydration needs mid-day.
Know the health limits
If you have heart, back, or pregnancy concerns, skip high-impact elements — operators enforce restrictions for safety.

Conservation Note
Operators often limit group sizes and restrict swimming areas to protect fragile cenote ecosystems; avoid sunscreen or use biodegradable formulas to reduce impact.
The Yucatán’s limestone karst has created cenotes used for millennia by the Maya for water and ritual; modern adventure operations repurpose these features for recreation while highlighting geological context.
