The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before you go

Carry and drink extra water—coastal heat and dusty ATV trails dehydrate faster than you think.

Footwear swap

Wear closed-toe shoes for ATVs and a second pair or flip-flops for the cenote to protect feet on wet rock.

Respect weight and age limits

ATV drivers must be 18+; zipline weight limit is 140 kg (310 lb). Inform guides of any medical issues at booking.

Use biodegradable insect repellent

The operator requests eco-friendly repellent—this protects both you and the cenote ecosystem.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small observation points along the ATV trail with elevated views of the scrub and distant Caribbean coastline
  • A shallow ledge inside the cenote where sunlight creates bands of light—great for photos during midday

Wildlife

  • Great kiskadee (bird)
  • Coati

Conservation Note

Operators encourage biodegradable products and brief visitors on respectful cenote use to prevent contamination; stick to marked paths to limit erosion.

Cenotes are part of a vast karst network that supplied freshwater to the ancient Maya; local guides often incorporate brief Mayan rituals honoring that heritage.
