Cenote Trail
Bike Tour
ADVENTURE ABOVE & BELOW THE JUNGLE
Discover the variety of caverns, underground rivers & open sinkholes that fill the Mayan forest around Tulum. Considered by the ancients as portals into the underworld, the cenotes are on of the major attractions of the region. Our Cenote Trail tours takes you by mountain bike into the jungle to discover beautiful Cenotes.
​
Filled with history and mystery, these fascinating spaces are home to the ancient remains of humans and animals going back to the Ice Age, as well as amazing rock formations, sections of underground rivers and the clearest water you are likely to swim in, ever! We will explore different cenotes, each very different from the other, allowing you to get a feel for the variety that exist (there are thousands) and ride some great forest trails on MTB.
​
​We cycle quiet & peaceful trails. There is virtually no traffic in the forest trails we chose making it extremely safe & enjoyable to ride among the tropical vegetation.
You can choose from 2 different options !
2 cenotes and Jungle lunch or 3 cenotes, Zip Line, Canoe and Jungle lunch.
Either way, the biking is exhilarating in this environment and is a great way to get the body moving and motivated for exploring cenotes and jumping in some cool, freshwater. Please note you are provided with a quality bike & helmet and must feel comfortable on a bike as well as consider yourself capable of cycling a minimum of 5 miles / 9 km on a mountain bike with changes of gears. We allow plenty of time for stops and re-hydrating and there are many interesting spots beside the trails to hop off and have a look at.
On our 3 Cenotes Trail Option, you can practice cliff jumps, canoe across an enormous open cenote full of wildlife, snorkel in the clearest of water and zipline above. This combination gives you both an underwater and airborne view of the cenotes and the complex systems that link them together. All the cenotes you will swim in are linked together by caves and underground rivers, part of Sac Actun: the largest explored flooded cave in the world! Impressive rock formations and underwater views full of aquatic life, snorkeling in these cenotes is like getting a taste of another world.
For both options, lunch is a delicious traditional meal in an exclusive Jungle Setting.
Led by expert guides, Bikes are a great mean to have an active adventure around Tulum, stopping to swim, snorkel and have a whole lot of fun while riding quality bikes through the jungle. You will also learn a lot about the local environment and how the cenotes formed, as well as their importance throughout the millennia to all the residents of the Yucatan peninsula.
