The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you start
Drink water during the transfer and carry an extra bottle—the day is active and humid.
Wear closed-toe shoes for ATVs
Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes protect toes on rocks and ruts; bring flip-flops for the cenote area.
Bring biodegradable insect repellent
Jungle sections can have mosquitoes—eco-friendly repellent protects you without harming cenotes.
Know weight and age limits
Zipline and horse-ride weight caps (120kg/240lb and 115kg/230lb) and 18+ to drive ATVs are strictly enforced.
