The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a swimsuit and change of clothes

Cenote swim follows the ATV and zipline — pack a quick-dry swimsuit and towel to stay comfortable after the dip.

Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes

ATV tracks are rocky and muddy; sturdy footwear helps control the vehicle and protects your feet.

Use reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent

Protect exposed skin before the cenote swim and repel biting insects in the understory.

Carry small cash for extras

Vendors at the park often accept only cash for souvenirs or additional snacks; bring pesos.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Smaller, unmarked sinkholes along the Route of the Cenotes that few tours visit
  • A quiet birding stretch on an ATV spur road where toucans and trogons often perch

Wildlife

  • Coati
  • Green iguana and tropical birds like toucans

Conservation Note

Avoid soaps and sunscreens that contaminate cenote water, follow guide instructions to protect fragile karst formations, and stick to marked paths to limit erosion.

Cenotes were freshwater sources and held spiritual significance for the Maya; many local routes follow ancient travel corridors between settlements.
