You step off the shuttle onto a compacted jungle track; heat rises from the leaf litter and the smell of earth and salt hangs in the air. Guides point toward a clearing where a row of ATVs waits, and the canopy seems to lean in, daring you to move faster. The day alternates between the throttle’s low rumble, the rush of ziplines cutting through the trees, and the sudden cool of a cenote that opens like a secret pool beneath the limestone.

Hydrate before you ride
Bring a refillable water bottle and drink before and after high-adrenaline activities—staff provide short breaks but water can be warm if left in the sun.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
ATV handling and cenote entry both require good footwear—sandals are not recommended.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof pouch or leave cameras in the shuttle—ziplines and cenote swims can drench phones and loose gear.
Apply reef-safe sunscreen
Biodegradable sunscreen minimizes harm to the cenote’s fragile ecosystem—reapply after swimming.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
