You leave the hotel strip and, within half an hour, the city’s concrete gives way to a corridor of green: the jungle crowding both sides of a dusty trail. The engine buzz of the ATVs starts as an exclamation — a sharp, immediate rush — and then the canopy takes over, palms and strangler figs brushing the edge of the track while the guide points out flowering bromeliads.

Hydrate before and during the tour
Bring at least 1 liter of water and sip frequently — the jungle heat and ATV wind both dry you out quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV and horseback segments both require sturdy footwear to protect your feet and stabilize your footing.
Protect the cenote
Use biodegradable sunscreen or rinse it off before entering the cenote to avoid contaminating the water and harming aquatic life.
Know the ATV rules
Drivers must be 16+ to operate an ATV; shared-ATV options may pair you with another rider — follow the guide’s safety brief and helmet rules.
Closed-toe hiking or sport shoes
Protects feet for ATV and horseback sections and provides traction on wet cenote rock.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Needed for the cenote swim; quick-dry fabric speeds the transition back to the vehicle.

Change of clothes
