The Experience

Before You Go

Wear quick-dry swimwear

You’ll switch between horseback, ziplines, and the cenote — quick-dry clothing saves time and comfort.

Use biodegradable sunscreen

Cenote ecosystems are sensitive; use reef-safe, biodegradable sun protection before arriving.

Secure small items

Phones and cameras are typically not allowed on ziplines — bring a small dry bag and leave valuables on the bus or with your guide.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Three hours of activity in heat requires water; sip regularly and alert guides if you feel lightheaded.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides about small, shallow cenote ledges where local kids leap — calmer spots for first‑time jumpers.
  • Short birdwatching detours near the start often reveal toucans and hummingbirds at dawn.

Wildlife

  • coati
  • toucan

Conservation Note

Cenote ecosystems are fragile — avoid chemical sunscreens, do not disturb vegetation, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

Cenotes are karst sinkholes formed over millennia and were crucial water sources for the ancient Maya; many nearby caves and sinkholes hold archaeological significance.
