The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and during

Bring a 1–2L water bottle; guides provide brief stops but tropical heat dehydrates quickly.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

ATV trails and zipline platforms require solid footing—trail runners or old hiking shoes are best.

Use biodegradable sunscreen

Cenotes are fragile—choose reef-safe or biodegradable sunscreen to protect the aquifer.

Protect your electronics

Bring a waterproof phone pouch or dry bag for the cenote and dusty ATV sections.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Platform views at the cenote—arrive early to see light shaft into the water
  • Short ATV turnoffs that reveal wild fruit trees and thick understory with good birdwatching

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Tropical forest birds (parrots and small toucan-like species)

Conservation Note

Operators encourage biodegradable sunscreen and limited plastic; respect posted rules at cenotes to protect the aquifer and local wildlife.

Cenotes were freshwater sources and spiritual sites for the Maya; routes through the jungle follow paths used for centuries between settlements.
