Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes are sensitive ecosystems—use reef- and bio-friendly sunscreen before swimming to protect water quality.
Pack a towel and change of clothes
You’ll swim at Hubiku then continue sightseeing; a quick dry change keeps you comfortable for the night show.
Expect uneven terrain
Worn stone, steps and loose gravel around ruins and cenote access require steady shoes and attention.
Charge your devices
The light show is photogenic but limited seating and lighting mean you may prefer to watch rather than record—still, bring a charged phone for photos and emergency use.
Swimwear
Needed for the cenote swim—bring quick-dry options and a modest cover-up for transit.
summer
Towel or travel towel
A compact towel speeds drying between activities and keeps you comfortable for the night portion.
Sturdy walking shoes
Supportive shoes with grip are useful on archaeological sites and cenote access paths.
Light rain jacket or layer
Evening temperatures can be cooler and brief showers occur seasonally—pack a small layer.
