The Experience

Before You Go

Closed‑toe shoes are non-negotiable

ATV trails are rough and dusty; sturdy sneakers or trail shoes protect toes and improve control on the vehicle.

Carry water and hydrate early

Five hours in heat and humidity can deplete you—bring a refillable bottle and sip often before and after ATVs and ziplines.

Budget for the conservation fee

A mandatory Mayan Jungle Conservation fee of USD 40 per person is collected onsite—have cash or confirm payment options ahead of time.

Secure cameras and loose gear

Use straps or leave phones in a dry bag—ziplines and ATVs jostle equipment and water at the cenote can damage electronics.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short interpretive paths near the cenote with native plant signage
  • Small roadside fondas near pickup points serving fresh regional chicken or fish tacos

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Tropical birds (motmots, kingfishers)

Conservation Note

Operators contribute to local conservation; visitors should stick to marked routes, avoid sunscreen in the cenote where advised, and pack out all trash.

Cenotes are exposed sections of the Yucatán’s limestone aquifer and were vital to Maya communities for water and ceremonies.
