The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Closed, grippy shoes are required for both ziplines and ATVs; sandals aren’t allowed and will limit participation.

Mind the weight and health limits

Ziplines have a 286 lb (130 kg) limit and the tour isn’t recommended for people with serious heart, spinal issues, or pregnant travelers.

Hydrate before and after

Tropical humidity accelerates dehydration—drink water before pickup and use the provided water during breaks.

Bring swim and a change of clothes

The cenote swim can be chilly out of the cave; quick-dry swimwear and a small towel make the return trip more comfortable.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A shallow cenote ledge ideal for relaxed floating and photos
  • Short trail viewpoints where morning light floods the canopy between bridge spans

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical songbirds (e.g., motmots)

Conservation Note

Respect cave and cenote rules: use biodegradable sunscreen, avoid touching stalactites, and follow guides to minimize erosion and disturbance.

Cenotes were crucial to Maya life and ritual — many on the Cenote Route supplied freshwater and appear in archaeological records as sacred sites.
