Mayan Jungle ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure from Cancun
Fly above the canopy, roar through jungle tracks on an ATV and cool off in a sacred cenote—all in a half-day from Cancun. This action-packed Riviera Maya tour pairs adrenaline with a close-up of the region’s karst geology and cultural history.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are rocky and the zipline platforms can be slippery; sturdy shoes protect feet and improve control.
Bring a towel and dry clothes
After the cenote swim you’ll want dry layers for the return trip and to avoid chafing in transit.
Hydrate before you arrive
Humidity and physical exertion make pre-hydration important—carry water for the ride and drink steadily throughout the day.
Secure valuables and electronics
Lockers may be limited and ATV vibrations are strong—use waterproof cases or leave expensive items at your hotel.

Conservation Note
Avoid sunscreen and insect repellent before entering cenotes to protect the aquifer; stick to marked trails to limit erosion and disturbance.
Cenotes were fresh-water sources and held ritual significance for the Maya; many sites along the Route of the Cenotes were part of pre-Hispanic travel and trade corridors.
