Ziplines, ATVs & Cenote Swim: Jungle Adventure from Cancun
Fly across the canopy, tackle off-road jungle trails on an ATV, then cool off in a sacred cenote—this four-hour shared tour out of Cancun packs air, land, and water into one day. Read on for what to expect and how to prepare.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive Swim-Ready
Bring a swimsuit and a quick-dry towel so you can swim in the cenote right after the ATV without waiting to change.
Wear Grippy Closed-Toe Shoes
ATV trails are muddy and uneven—sturdy shoes with traction protect your feet and improve control.
Use Biodegradable Sunscreen & Repellent
The area relies on clean water systems; choose eco-friendly products to protect cenote water quality and local wildlife.
Know Driver Rules
You must be 16+ to drive an ATV and inside the 55–300 lb weight range—arrange for a tandem ride if you don’t meet requirements.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Look for small bird blinds near the zipline platforms for quiet birdwatching between runs.
- •Walk the rocky rim around the cenote at low tide for unexpected fern and orchid pockets.
Wildlife
- •Tropical kingbirds (flycatchers)
- •Anoles and small coatis in forest clearings
Conservation Note
Parks here encourage biodegradable products and limit visitor impact on cenote water; stick to marked paths and avoid entering with sunscreens that harm aquatic life.
Cenotes are karst features central to Maya settlement—freshwater sources and ritual sites that shaped trade and town locations across the Yucatán.
