Riviera Maya Jungle Combo: ATV, Ziplines, Horseback & Cenote Adventure

Four activities, one jungle: race through canopy on ziplines, tear along muddy ATV tracks, trot quiet trails on horseback and cool off in a cenote. This five-hour combo in the Riviera Maya pairs adrenaline with local geology and Mayan-flavored refreshment.

The Experience

Before You Go

Bring closed-toe shoes

ATV and horseback sections require sturdy shoes to protect feet from mud, debris and stirrups.

Wear biodegradable sunscreen

Cenote swim and prolonged sun exposure make reef-safe sunscreen and a hat useful; parks request biodegradable products.

Hydrate before departure

Tropical conditions and adrenaline activities dehydrate quickly—start hydrated and refill at provided water stops.

Secure valuables

Phones and loose items are usually forbidden during activities—use lockers or official photo services.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside cenotes near Puerto Morelos with shallow ledges for easy wading
  • A short trail viewpoint where the canopy opens to reveal coastal scrub and coastal breeze

Wildlife

  • Howler monkeys (distant calls)
  • Tropical birds such as trogons and motmots

Conservation Note

Stick to marked trails, use biodegradable products, and respect cenote rules—these networks are fragile aquifers that require low-impact visitation.

The Maya managed these landscapes around cenotes as freshwater hubs and ritual sites; many local routes follow paths used for centuries.
