The Experience

Before You Go

Ride basics

If you plan to drive, be comfortable shifting and braking; practice in a safe area and follow guide instructions at all times.

Water readiness

Bring swimwear and a towel; cenotes are cool and clear—use a dry bag for electronics and avoid sunscreen before entry.

Footwear

Wear closed-toe shoes for the ATV and quick-dry sandals or reef shoes for the cenote approaches and platforms.

Health limits

This activity isn't recommended for pregnant guests or those with serious spinal or heart conditions; report any concerns during check-in.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides about small roadside Mayan food stalls for a fresh tamal after the activity
  • Look for the smaller, quieter cenote platform for a more private jump and clearer visibility for snorkeling

Wildlife

  • Mexican white-tailed deer
  • Green iguana

Conservation Note

Operators often enforce no-sunscreen swims, provide lifejackets, and limit visitor impact to protect the cenotes and underlying aquifers; follow guide instructions and avoid touching stalactites.

Many cenotes were significant in Mayan culture as freshwater sources and ritual sites; the karst landscape of the Yucatán has shaped local settlement patterns for millennia.
