The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet on buggy tracks and provide grip on wet cenote rock.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Apply before arrival to protect skin and local marine life when swimming in the cenote.

Secure small electronics

Use a waterproof pouch or leave phones on the transport—guides will take photos if available.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Six hours of activity in tropical heat means drinking water before and between segments to avoid dizziness.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Visit a roadside vendor for fresh coconut water after the buggy segment
  • Quiet viewpoints along the service roads offer unobstructed sunrise views over sugarcane fields

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical shorebirds and frigatebirds

Conservation Note

Operators are encouraged to use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid disturbing cenote edges; staying on marked trails reduces erosion and protects fragile karst features.

La Altagracia’s landscape was shaped by colonial-era sugarcane plantations and cattle ranching; many horse trails follow old agricultural roads.
