Ziplines and ATV sections require sturdy footwear; closed-toe shoes with good tread protect your feet on trails and when entering the cenote area.

Cenotes are natural sinkholes formed by the Yucatán’s limestone bedrock and were central to Maya water supply and ritual life; many adventure sites sit on or near historic freshwater passages.
