The Experience

Before You Go

Bring closed-toe shoes

ATV sections and zipline platforms are rough—sturdy shoes with good tread protect your feet and improve control.

Pack a small waterproof bag

Keep phone, ID and cash dry during the cenote swim and on dusty ATV rides.

Mind the weight limit

Ziplines enforce a 130 kg (286 lb) maximum—check before booking to avoid last-minute disappointment.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

You’ll swim in a natural cenote—choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect karst water quality.

Conservation Note

Operators often encourage biodegradable sunscreen and minimal single-use plastics; protecting groundwater and surrounding forest is key to preserving cenotes and local biodiversity.

Cenotes are collapse features of the Yucatán’s limestone bedrock and held spiritual and practical importance for the Maya; Puerto Morelos evolved from a fishing community into today’s eco-tourism gateway.
