Mayan Jungle Combo: ATVs, Ziplines, Horseback & Cenote Swim from Playa del Carmen
Four high-adrenal activities in one compact outing from Playa del Carmen—shared ATVs, treetop ziplines, a guided horseback loop and a cool cenote swim, finished with a Mexican lunch. Ideal for travelers who want a fast, varied jungle experience packed into a morning or afternoon.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
ATV tracks and horseback approaches are uneven and can be muddy; closed-toe shoes protect your feet and grip better.
Bring swimsuit and quick-dry towel
You’ll finish in a cenote—pack a swimsuit under your clothes and a towel to change afterward.
Carry biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent
Protect your skin without contaminating cenote waters—regular sunscreens can harm aquatic ecosystems.
Know ATV rules and limits
Drivers must be 16+, weight limits apply (max ~300 lb), and single-rider surcharges may apply if numbers are odd.
