Riviera Maya ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure — Half-Day Jungle Thrill
Combine open-trail ATV riding, treetop ziplining and a fresh cenote swim on a half-day tour from the Riviera Maya. Expect flat limestone trails, six canopy ziplines, a cool swim in a karst cenote and a hearty Mexican lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes and groundwater are sensitive — use reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen and rinse off before entering the water.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV trails include sand, roots and occasional mud; sturdy closed-toe shoes improve control and comfort.
Hydrate before you go
Humidity and sun increase exertion; drink water before the tour and carry a small bottle if allowed.
Carry small local cash
Some park vendors and tips are cash-only; have small bills for lockers, souvenirs or guides.

Conservation Note
Cenote ecosystems are fragile; use biodegradable products, avoid touching stalactites, and follow guide rules to minimize impact.
The Yucatán’s cenotes are formations in limestone karst and were central to Maya water systems and ritual life; many local communities maintain traditional connections to these features.
