- •Ask guides about native tree species along the ATV trails; some clearings have medicinal plants used by local communities.
Wildlife
- •Howler monkeys
- •Tropical birds (motmots, toucans)
Conservation Note

Cenotes were crucial to Mayan life and ritual; many local caverns were seen as entrances to the underworld and served as freshwater sources for settlements.
