Selva Maya Eco Adventure Park — Zipline, Cenote Rappel & Snorkeling in Tulum
Fly nine ziplines, cross five hanging bridges, rappel to a cenote and snorkel in a cavern—Selva Maya packs high-adrenaline moves and cool-water recovery into a four-hour loop near Tulum. Guides supply gear, lunch, and local context for an efficient jungle day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive with a bathing suit under your clothes
Changing on-site is limited; wearing swimwear under a lightweight layer speeds transitions between zipline and cenote activities.
Use biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes are sensitive freshwater systems—reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen helps protect underwater life and formations.
Secure loose items
Bring a small dry bag or use provided lockers; phones and sunglasses can be lost on ziplines or in the cenote.
Hydrate before you start
Humidity and exertion add up—drink water in the hour before the tour and use bottles provided during the day.
