Mayan Jungle Rush: ATV, Zipline & Cenote Swim from Cancun
Combine ziplining over canopy, off-road ATV trails, and a swim in a freshwater cenote on a five-hour Mayan Jungle Rush near Cancun—roundtrip transport, guides, and snacks included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
ATV riding and jungle paths are uneven—closed-toe shoes with good tread protect your feet and improve control on vehicles.
Bring swimwear and a quick-dry towel
You’ll enter a cenote with options to swim, cliff-jump, or zip into the water—pack a change of clothes and a quick-dry towel.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before entering the cenote or use provided rinsing stations to protect groundwater and local wildlife.
Be honest about fitness and health
This trip involves ATV control, stairs into a cenote, and some minor climbs—pregnant travelers or those with recent spinal injuries should not participate.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Ask your guide about a low-traffic viewing platform on the hanging bridges for photos; it’s quieter mid-morning.
- •Look for small sinkhole overhangs near the cenote where local freshwater plants and minnows gather—good for close wildlife viewing.
Wildlife
- •Howler monkeys
- •Iguanas and tropical birds (kingfishers, motmots)
Conservation Note
Use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid bringing single-use plastics, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact—many operators limit group sizes to protect fragile cenote ecosystems.
Cenotes formed when limestone collapsed and exposed the aquifer beneath; for the Maya they were vital freshwater sources and often held ceremonial significance.
