Riviera Maya Adrenaline: ATV Ziplines & Cenote Swim Near Puerto Morelos
Spend five packed hours zipping through jungle canopy, piloting ATVs across red-earth tracks, and cooling off in a real Mayan cenote. This guided day trip from Cancun combines high-adrenaline activities with local geology and simple practical prep.
