The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenote ecosystems are sensitive—use reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen to protect water quality.
Closed-toe shoes required
Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes give traction on ATV trails and limestone surfaces; flip-flops are not recommended.
Hydrate before arrival
Tropical heat and short bursts of exertion make pre-hydration important; carry a small refillable bottle supplied by the operator.
Listen to briefings
Safety briefings cover harness checks, ATV handling, and cenote rules—pay attention to reduce risk and speed up the group flow.

Conservation Note
Operators often limit group sizes and promote reef- and cenote-safe products; avoid disturbing cave formations and pack out all trash.
Cenotes are part of the Yucatán’s karst landscape and held spiritual and practical importance for Mayan communities as freshwater sources and ceremonial sites.
