The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV tracks are rocky and ziplines require sturdy footing—bring sneakers or light hiking shoes.

Use biodegradable sunscreen

The cenote is sensitive—apply reef-safe sunscreen before arrival and again after leaving the water.

Secure loose items in lockers

Phones and sunglasses can fall during ATVs or ziplines—use provided lockers to avoid loss.

Start early to beat heat

Morning departures reduce heat exposure and often mean smaller groups on ziplines and in the cenote.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small freshwater pools near the cenote rim for quiet wildlife watching
  • Short shaded boardwalks that reveal unique limestone formations and seasonal orchids

Wildlife

  • Howler monkeys
  • Coatimundi (coati)

Conservation Note

Operators typically prohibit chemical sunscreens in cenotes and limit group sizes—follow guide instructions to protect delicate aquifer ecosystems.

The Tulum area sits on Yucatán’s limestone shelf; cenotes were sacred to the Maya as portals to the underworld and often served as ritual sites.
