Combine a bumpy ATV circuit, a treetop zipline, and a refreshing swim in a sacred cenote on this 4–5 hour Mayan jungle excursion from Cancún or the Riviera Maya. Expect off-road trails, aerodynamic flights over canopy, and a cool freshwater plunge—plus buffet lunch and hotel transport.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull away from the hotel strip and, within an hour, the sounds of traffic are replaced by the thump of tires and the hush of broad-leaf canopy. A ribbon of rutted trail cuts through low tropical forest; the ATV rumbles, the canopy closes in, and the jungle seems to push at the edges of the path, daring you to go faster.
