The Experience

Before You Go

Bring biodegradable repellent

Mosquitoes are common near cenotes and in the jungle—use biodegradable repellent to protect wildlife and yourself.

Wear closed-toe shoes for ATVs

Sturdy trainers or trail shoes protect feet during the ride and the short hikes between activities.

Observe the weight and age limits

Zip lines have a 120 kg (240 lb) maximum and only guests 18+ may drive ATVs—follow limits for safety.

Carry small cash

Bring cash for tips, souvenirs or purchases at the meeting point—card facilities may be limited.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small cavern off the main cenote where light pools from surface openings
  • Short viewpoint on the ATV circuit with panoramic scrubland and coastal breeze

Wildlife

  • Tropical birds such as motmots and kingfishers
  • Coatis and occasional iguanas near sunlit clearings

Conservation Note

Operators encourage biodegradable repellent and limit access to delicate cenote features—stay on marked paths and avoid lotion or sunscreen in cave waters to protect aquifer ecosystems.

Cenotes were freshwater sources and held spiritual importance for the Maya; many nearby sites show human use of karst aquifers for centuries.
