The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a swimsuit and quick-dry towel

You’ll swim in a cenote after ziplines; pack a towel and dry clothes to change into for the return trip.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV tracks are dusty with occasional ruts—sturdy shoes protect feet and improve control on the quad.

Mind the 300 lb ATV limit

ATV riders must be at least 16 years old and under the maximum weight limit; let guides know any mobility issues.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Cenote ecosystems are sensitive—choose biodegradable or mineral sunscreens to reduce chemical runoff.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Quiet swim ledges away from the main cenote platforms where local limestone shelves create calm pools
  • Small roadside stalls near Puerto Morelos selling fresh tropical fruit and aguas frescas—perfect for a cool post-tour snack

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical songbirds and occasional howler monkeys

Conservation Note

Cenote ecosystems are fragile—avoid soaps and non-biodegradable sunscreens, respect posted zones, and follow guides’ instructions to minimize impact.

Cenotes formed when Yucatán’s limestone collapsed, creating freshwater holes that were sacred water sources for the ancient Maya and central to regional settlement patterns.
