Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes are sensitive to pollutants; use biodegradable sunscreen to protect freshwater ecosystems and skin under tropical sun.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV tracks are rocky and muddy; sturdy shoes protect your feet during drives and short hikes around the cenote.
Secure small valuables
Carry a small dry bag or leave valuables at the hotel—shared ATVs and water sections increase the risk of losing items.
Hydrate before you ride
The heat and activity can dehydrate you quickly; drink water before pickup and bring a reusable bottle if possible.
