The engine cuts through humid air as you push past a wall of green—mango and ceiba trees lean over a dusty track while birds challenge the rev of ATVs. Moments later the jungle opens to a limestone sinkhole; sunlight strikes the water and the cenote seems to breathe. This is a day that moves: motor tracks, a five-line zipline run, a rappel and a dip in an underground cenote.

Hydrate before you go
Bring water and drink plenty before the ATV portion; heat and dust can sap energy quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers protect feet on ATVs and provide grip on limestone around the cenote.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen to protect the cenote’s water chemistry and local ecosystems.
Know the restrictions
Single riders must be 18+ and harness/weight limits apply—ask guides if you’re near the limit.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Protect feet on ATVs, trails and slick limestone surfaces.
Swimsuit and quick-dry shirt
You’ll enter the cenote and will want a dry layer for the return to base.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Protect electronics during ziplines, rappel and cenote swim.
Reef-safe sunscreen & insect repellent
Sun and bugs are both factors—choose biodegradable products to reduce impact.
