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.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A quiet ledge at the cenote’s edge where water clarity makes small fish visible
  • Short jungle side trails near the park that host colorful tropical birds and shaded photo spots

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical birds (kingfishers and motmots)

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.
