Mayan Jungle Adventure: Zipline, ATV & Cenote Swim near Cancun

The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails are muddy and rocky; sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes improve traction on ATVs and while entering cenotes.
Secure electronics
Use a waterproof case or dry bag for phones and cameras—cenote swims and jungle dust can ruin gear.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Start with bottled water before the tour and drink between activities—the humid heat and exertion add up fast.
Arrive early with swimwear under clothes
Changing on-site can be rushed; wear swimwear beneath quick-dry clothing to save time and get the most out of the day.
