Select participants and date
The ride out of town is a rhythm of motor hums giving way to bird calls. You’ll mount an electric bike at the TAE headquarters and glide from the paved highway into a shoulder-high green tunnel where the jungle rearranges the day’s light. The trail narrows to sandy singletrack, palms and strangler figs brushing your shoulders, until the trees open and water—black, clear, impossibly deep—waits in a limestone throat: the cenote.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The cenote’s aquifer is fragile—use biodegradable sunscreen to protect water quality and comply with local rules.
Wear water shoes
Expect sandy, muddy approaches and slippery limestone; closed-toe shoes for the ride and water shoes for the cenote work best.
Hydrate before you go
It’s humid and active—drink water before pickup and refill at provided bottled water stops.
Know your swim comfort
Snorkeling and cenote entries require basic swimming comfort; speak up to guides if you need a flotation aid.
