Playa del Carmen Jungle Combo: Zipline, ATV & Cenote Adventure with Lunch
Run cables over the canopy, tackle jungle tracks on a single ATV, then cool off in a freshwater cenote—this half‑day combo from Playa del Carmen pairs high‑speed thrills with a cultural splash and a chicken fajitas lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you go
Carry a reusable water bottle and drink before the first activity; dehydration reduces coordination on the zipline and ATV.
Wear closed, grippy shoes
ATV tracks get muddy and cenote rocks are slippery—trail runners or closed sandals with straps work best.
Pack a dry change of clothes
Bring a towel and dry clothes in a small waterproof bag to change after the cenote swim.
Bring small cash
The site doesn’t accept credit cards for extras or tips—have local pesos for lockers, snacks or gratuities.

Conservation Note
Operators often emphasize staying on marked trails and not using sunscreen or insect repellent directly before entering cenotes to reduce chemical contamination of fragile groundwater.
Cenotes are karst sinkholes formed as sea levels and underground rivers shifted; for pre‑Hispanic Maya they were sacred freshwater sources and ritual sites.
