Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes and archaeological sites are ecologically sensitive—use reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen to protect groundwater and flora.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water; heat and walking on uneven stone can be draining over an 11–12 hour day.
Wear grippy shoes
Expect packed earth, stone steps and damp surfaces at the cenote—light hiking shoes or sneakers with good tread work best.
Protect photos and electronics
Bring a small dry bag for your camera or phone when swimming in the cenote and moving between sites.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is critical during long walks and under tropical sun.
Light hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers
Provide traction on stone steps, packed earth and wet surfaces at the cenote.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
Needed for swimming in the cenote and drying off quickly afterward.
