The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet during horseback, ATV and trail transitions.

Hydrate before and during

Bring at least 1 liter of water—tropical heat and physical activity dehydrate quickly.

Secure loose items

Cameras and phones are generally prohibited during active segments; use a dry bag left with the guide.

Mind the weight/age limits

Adhere to posted max weights and minimum ages for safety (horses, ATVs and ziplines have specific limits).

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Explore short hanging-bridge sections at the eco-park for quiet wildlife viewing.
  • Ask guides about nearby small cenotes along Ruta de los Cenotes often visited by locals for quieter swims.

Wildlife

  • Howler monkeys
  • Keel-billed toucans

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize minimal-impact practices—stay on trails, avoid sunscreen in the cenote unless it’s reef-safe, and follow guide instructions to protect fragile karst systems.

The Yucatán’s cenote network supplied freshwater to pre-Columbian populations and remains culturally significant; many sites nearby were used for ritual and daily life.
