Mayan Jungle Half-Day Adventure: ATVs, Zipline, Horseback & Cenote Swim (Round-Trip Included)
A compact half-day in the Mayan Jungle that combines single-rider ATVs, canopy ziplines, a guided horseback loop and a refreshing cenote swim. Round-trip transport from Cancun or Playa del Carmen simplifies logistics so you can focus on the ride, the flight and the plunge.

Conservation Note
Parks in the region emphasize limiting chemical sunscreens and managing visitor flow to protect cenote water quality and local flora; choose operators that follow local waste and water-protection practices.
The area sits on karst limestone once traversed by Classic-era Mayan traders; cenotes were sacred freshwater sources linked to ritual and daily life.
