The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and during the tour

Bring a reusable water bottle for the ride to/from the park; unlimited fresh water is provided at lunch but dehydration is common in the heat.

Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes

ATV and trail sections require secure footwear—no sandals; shoes with good tread improve control and comfort.

Protect electronics and valuables

Use a waterproof phone pouch or zip-lock and the provided lockers to keep gear dry during the cenote swim.

Know health limitations

Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with back/heart problems; follow guide instructions on ATVs and ziplines for safety.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Shaded hammock area where local artisans sell small handicrafts and frequently chat about regional cuisine
  • A shallow cenote ledge ideal for quiet observation of refraction patterns and small aquatic life

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Tropical birds (motmots and kingbirds)

Conservation Note

The area’s limestone aquifer is sensitive—use biodegradable products, avoid contaminating the cenote, and follow on-site rules to protect groundwater and local flora.

Cenotes were crucial freshwater sources for the Maya and often served both practical and ceremonial roles; the surrounding lowland forest has supported settlements for millennia.
