Xplor Fuego Night Adventure: Jungle Ziplines, Amphibious Vehicles & Underground Rivers
Experience the jungle after dark at Xplor Fuego: two zipline circuits, amphibious vehicle trails through flooded caves, and underground river rafts and swims — all with a BBQ buffet to refuel. This six‑hour night program blends adrenaline and subterranean geology within easy reach of Playa del Carmen.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring water shoes and a change of clothes
Trails, caves, ziplines and the Toboganxote are wet — closed-toe water shoes and quick-dry clothing make transitions faster and safer.
Pack a headlamp or flashlight
Much of the experience is after dark; a small headlamp helps with walkways and changing stations even though park lighting is provided.
Know the size limits
Harnesses and vehicle seats enforce height/weight limits — check requirements ahead to avoid being turned away for safety reasons.
Hydrate before you go
Humidity and exertion add up; drink water before arrival and use the park’s non‑alcoholic beverage stations between activities.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Stand near the elevated platforms between zipline runs for clear nighttime views of torch-lit jungle
- •Ask guides about the karst formations visible in the cave ceilings — many are distinctive flowstone and stalactite shapes
Wildlife
- •Great curassow (bird)
- •Tree frogs and nocturnal insects
Conservation Note
Operators emphasize minimal-impact access to caves and strict safety protocols; stay on marked paths and avoid touching formations to prevent damage.
The park’s underground river system is part of the Yucatán’s karst topography, where cenotes and caves have been significant in Maya ritual and settlement for millennia.
