The Experience

Before You Go

Bring biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent

The cenote and jungle are sensitive; reef-safe sunscreen protects both your skin and the aquatic environment.

Pack swimwear and a quick-dry towel

You’ll finish with a cenote swim—bring a change of clothes and quick-dry layers to stay comfortable for the return transfer.

Carry small bills in cash

The operator does not accept cards for on-site charges; keep cash for extras and the possible $10 odd-person ATV fee.

Know the weight and age limits

ATV and horse participation is limited by weight (max ~264 lb/120 kg) and drivers must be 16+; confirm at booking to avoid surprises.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A shallow cenote shelf perfect for floating quietly without crowds
  • Subtle birding pockets along the ATV track—watch for trogons and motmots in early morning

Wildlife

  • Great kiskadee
  • Motmot

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize biodegradable products and limited foot traffic around cenote rims; avoid sunscreen in the water unless it’s reef-safe to reduce chemical impact.

Cenotes are karst sinkholes formed by collapsed limestone and were ritually significant to the Maya as entrances to the underworld; the Ruta de los Cenotes follows several of these freshwater systems.
