Riviera Maya 4-in-1: ATV, Zipline, Horseback & Cenote Adventure from Cancún

The Experience
Before You Go
Protect electronics from water and mud
Use a dry bag or zip-top plastic to keep phones and cameras safe during the cenote swim and ATV sections.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
ATVs and horseback sections require solid footing; avoid sandals and bring shoes you don’t mind getting muddy.
Bring cash for extras
Some parks require small on-site payments and they may not accept cards—carry local currency for souvenirs or odd charges.
Start early to beat heat and storms
Morning departures are cooler and reduce the chance of afternoon tropical downpours affecting ziplines or ATV tracks.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Look for small rock ledges near the cenote edge where local guides point out fossilized shell beds.
- •Ask the guide about native medicinal plants used historically—many tours pause to identify species along trails.
Wildlife
- •Howler monkeys
- •Coatis (white-nosed coatimundi)
Conservation Note
Stick to marked trails, avoid sunscreen before entering cenotes, and follow guide instructions—reducing chemical runoff and trampling helps preserve fragile karst and aquatic ecosystems.
Cenotes were central to Maya ritual and freshwater supplies; the limestone karst landscape of the Yucatán created these sinkholes over millennia.
