Jungle Adventure Near Cancún: ATV, Zipline, Horseback Riding & Cenote Swim
Swap Cancún’s beach bustle for a five-hour jungle loop that combines horseback trails, ATV tracks, zipline runs and a swim in a Mayan cenote. Expect a mix of geology, history and engineered thrills with hotel pickup and safety briefings included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen and repellent
Cenote water and park rules favor eco-friendly products—use reef-safe sunscreen and biodegradable repellent to protect water quality and wildlife.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes protect feet for horseback and ATV sections—sandals are not recommended on any motorized or mounted portions.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Five hours in sun and humidity can fatigue anyone—drink water before and during the tour and rest at the cenote if you feel overheated.
Confirm pickup zone and weight limits
Double-check your hotel pickup zone when booking and observe posted weight limits for ATVs, ziplines and horses to avoid denied participation.

Conservation Note
Parks emphasize minimal impact: use biodegradable products, avoid touching cave formations, and stay on marked trails to protect fragile karst systems and cenote water quality.
Cenotes were central to Classic Maya culture—sources of water and ritual—while the Yucatán’s karst landscape formed over millions of years as limestone dissolved to create caves and sinkholes.
