The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Trails are rocky and ATV footrests can be hot; sturdy shoes protect toes and improve control.

Bring a swimsuit and quick-dry towel

You’ll enter the cenote, so have swimwear under light clothes to change quickly after the ride.

Check the weight limit

Ziplines cap at 130 kg (286 lb); confirm weight and any limitations before booking.

Hydrate and apply biodegradable sunscreen

Strong sun and physical activity require water and reef-safe sunscreen to protect both you and the cenote.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Look for small side pools or shallow ledges near the main cenote where fish gather—great for close-up shots.
  • Short jungle side paths often reveal orchids, medicinal plants and clearings that attract birds in the morning.

Wildlife

  • Black iguana (common in low jungle)
  • Coatimundi and a variety of tropical birds

Conservation Note

These karst systems are sensitive: avoid soaps, don’t touch rock formations, and use biodegradable products to protect water clarity and local aquatic life.

Cenotes are karst formations central to Maya life and ritual—freshwater sources formed as limestone collapsed and groundwater surfaced; many in the Yucatán have archaeological significance.
