The Experience

Before You Go

Confirm hotel pickup

Pickup is provided from Cancun and Riviera Maya hotels—confirm your hotel name after booking and be ready in the lobby five minutes before the scheduled time.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Platforms and ATV sections require secure footwear; sandals increase the risk of slips and are often not allowed on ATVs.

Bring biodegradable sunscreen

Regular sunscreens damage freshwater systems—apply a reef- and reef-safe sunscreen before swimming in the cenote.

Secure small items

Use a zippered pocket or locker for phones and keys—loose items can easily be lost on ziplines and ATVs.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Pull off at the small roadside stands near Puerto Morelos for grilled fish tacos after your tour.
  • Ask guides about lesser-known cenotes on the Ruta de los Cenotes that see fewer tourists for quieter swims.

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical birds such as motmots and kingfishers

Conservation Note

The area emphasizes protecting freshwater and limiting pollutants—use biodegradable products, follow guide rules, and avoid entering cenotes with sunscreen or insect repellant that isn’t eco-friendly.

Cenotes were sacred to the Maya as sources of life and ceremonial sites; many in the Ruta de los Cenotes have archaeological significance and freshwater importance.
