When you hear “Cancun,” the first images that probably come to mind are white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. But just beyond the coast lies an entirely different world — the lush, vibrant Mayan jungle bursting with adrenaline-pumping activities. For those eager to sample a mix of thrill and nature in one day, the Mayan Jungle Adventure Zipline, ATV, and Cenote Swim offers an exciting way to explore the wild side of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.
For around $55 per person, you get roughly five hours of action, including hotel pickup from Cancun or Riviera Maya, making logistics a breeze. The itinerary is packed with ziplining, ATV riding, and cenote swimming—each giving a different taste of jungle adventure.

- The maximum weight is 260 lbs; check if you’re within limits to avoid surprises.
