Jungle Zipline & ATV Adventure with Sacred Cenote Swim near Puerto Morelos
Race across jungle trails on an ATV, fly above the canopy on a zipline, then cool off in a sacred cenote—this four-hour combo from Puerto Morelos pairs adrenaline with a refreshing swim. Practical tips and local context help you prepare for the heat, safety rules, and what to bring.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable repellent
Mosquitoes are active in shaded cenote and jungle areas—use biodegradable repellent to protect water quality and yourself.
Wear closed-toe shoes for ATVs
Sturdy trainers or light trail shoes protect feet during the off-road ATV sections and when walking around the cenote rim.
Start in the morning
Morning departures avoid the hottest, rainiest part of the day and usually mean clearer cenote water.
Hydrate before and during the tour
Bring a refillable bottle—operators provide purified water but you’ll want to start well-hydrated for ATV dust and zipline adrenaline.
