The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning departures

Morning pick-ups reduce heat, lower humidity, and often mean smaller groups on ziplines and at the cenote.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV controls and jungle trails require sturdy, closed footwear to protect your feet and improve handling.

Use biodegradable sunscreen

The cenote ecosystem is sensitive — choose reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen to limit chemical runoff.

Secure loose items

Phones and sunglasses can be lost on ATVs or get damaged; use a zippered pack or leave valuables at the meeting point.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides about small viewpoints along the ATV loop that aren’t on the main photo stops
  • Nearby local stands sell fresh fruit and Mayan-style snacks—perfect after the cenote dip

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Tropical birds (kingfishers, flycatchers)

Conservation Note

Operators encourage reef- and cenote-safe products and limit group sizes to reduce erosion and disturbance; follow guide instructions and avoid touching cave formations.

Cenotes were freshwater sources and sacred sites in Maya culture; many local communities have long-standing ritual associations with these wells.
