The jungle breathes close to your helmet as the first ATV buckles over a wash of roots and limestone; humidity clings to your shirt and the air smells of earth and salt. Ahead, the trunks open into a clearing where horses stamp and breathe steam into the warm morning. By midday the canopy will hum with line-tethered harnesses and the cenote will wait like a glassy eye below a ring of tropical vegetation — cool, honest, and unavoidable.

Adventure Tips
Book morning departures
Morning tours are cooler, wildlife is more active and trail dust is lighter — ideal for the ATV and horseback segments.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV and horseback sections require sturdy footwear; bring sandals only for the cenote portion.
Follow weight & age rules
Respect the provider’s age and weight limits for safety — drivers must be 18+ to operate an ATV solo.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen after the ATV/zipline portion and before entering the cenote; non-biodegradable products are often prohibited.
