The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and during the tour

Bring a full water bottle and drink regularly—tropical humidity and activity raise dehydration risk quickly.

Use biodegradable sunscreen

Protect your skin and the cenote’s ecosystem by using reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen before arrival.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

ATV trails are muddy and uneven—closed-toe trail shoes or boots protect toes and offer better control.

Check weight and age limits

Drivers must meet age and weight rules (16+ to drive single ATV; 130 kg/286 lb max) to avoid last-minute disqualification.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside stalls outside Puerto Morelos with fresh fruit agua frescas
  • A quiet cenote ledge that’s shallow and ideal for watching dragonflies at mid-morning

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • White-tailed deer

Conservation Note

Use biodegradable products, avoid littering and follow guide instructions to minimize impact—cenotes are fragile freshwater springs with sensitive ecosystems.

Cenotes were central to Mayan ritual life and survival; many served as freshwater wells and ceremonial sites for communities across the Yucatán.
