Puerto Morelos Adventure: ATV Jungle Rides, Zipline Canopy & Cenote Swim
Three classic Riviera Maya elements—ATV trails, canopy ziplines, and a cenote dip—are combined into a single 4-hour loop from Puerto Morelos. Expect rutted jungle tracks, short high-adrenaline zip lines, and a refreshing freshwater swim; pack closed-toe shoes and biodegradable sunscreen.
