Puerto Morelos Jungle Adventure: Ziplines, Horses, ATVs & Cenote Swim
Spend a half day exploring Puerto Morelos’ jungle by zip line, on horseback, and behind the wheel of an ATV before cooling off in a crystalline cenote. This mixed adventure pairs adrenaline with accessible nature immersion.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you arrive
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water; heat and activity make dehydration the most common issue on multi-activity days.
Closed-toe shoes only
Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes provide grip for ATVs and protection on horse trails and cenote edges.
Bring a valid driver’s license
A driver’s license or permit is required to operate an ATV — leave unnecessary valuables on the van.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before the cenote swim to protect freshwater ecosystems and follow guide instructions.

Conservation Note
Operators often enforce biodegradable-sunscreen policies and limit off-trail access to protect fragile cenote water and jungle understory — follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
The region sits on Yucatán’s karst plain; cenotes here were important both practically and spiritually to the Maya and remain freshwater lifelines.
