Riviera Maya Jungle Adventure: ATV, Horseback, Zipline & Cenote from Cancun
Combine ATVs, horseback riding, ziplines and a swim in a cenote on a 4–5 hour adventure departing Cancun. Expect muddy tracks, canopy views, and a guided intro to the region’s cenote geology and Mayan history.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Wear reef- and chemical-free sunscreen for the cenote swim — non-biodegradable lotions can harm subterranean water quality.
Closed-toe shoes that can get muddy
ATV and horseback sections run on rough, wet trails; sturdy shoes protect your feet and improve control.
Hydrate before you go
Start with a full bottle and carry water or buy at the park — heat and activity can dehydrate you quickly.
Know the ATV rules
Drivers must be 16+, follow the guide’s instructions, and respect the park’s speed limits and weight caps.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •A quiet shallow shelf in the cenote good for floating and photos away from the main entry
- •A short off-trail viewpoint over low mangrove stands where early-morning light catches herons and kingfishers
Wildlife
- •Green iguanas
- •Tropical birds (kings, herons, trogons)
Conservation Note
Follow guide instructions: avoid non-biodegradable sunscreens before entering cenotes, stick to marked trails to limit erosion, and respect wildlife by observing from a distance.
Cenotes formed from collapsed limestone and were sacred water sources for the Maya; these sinkholes played roles in ritual life and settlement patterns across the Yucatán.
