Tulum Jungle Zipline and ATV Adventure with Cenote Swim from Cancun
Feel the jungle lift beneath you—zip past palm crowns, kick up dust on an ATV, then cool off in a cenote. This five‑hour Tulum adventure blends high-adrenaline activity with a sensory swim and local flavors, perfect for travelers based in Cancun or Tulum.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before pickup
The pickup is about an hour from Cancun; drink water ahead of time and carry a refillable bottle—guides provide bottles but mornings can be hot.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV sections require sturdy footwear to protect your feet from dust and debris—no flip-flops.
Protect your electronics
Bring a small dry bag or ziplock for phones and wallets—the cenote swim and dusty trails are a risk to gear.
Avoid sunscreen in cenotes
Sunscreen and lotions can harm cenote water quality; plan to rinse off before entering and use reef-safe sunscreen beforehand.

Cenotes were sacred to the Maya and served as freshwater sources and spiritual sites; the limestone karst landscape shaped settlement and ceremony.
