The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before pickup
Drink water before departure and refill at the park’s purified water stations to avoid fatigue during the ATV and horseback sections.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV and horseback segments require sturdy, closed footwear for grip and protection on uneven jungle trails.
Respect weight and age limits
Follow posted weight limits (ziplines ~250 lb, ATVs ~300 lb, horses ~220 lb) and ATV age rules — only adults 18+ may drive their own unit.
Use biodegradable sun and bug products
Protect the cenote ecosystem by choosing biodegradable sunscreen and repellent; this helps preserve water quality and local flora.
