The Itinerary: Detailed Breakdown
The main stop at Casa Jaguar offers a variety of activities, making the most of the natural environment. You start with a refreshing swim in a cenote, which is one of the highlights. The cenotes are crystal clear, cool, and a quintessential part of the Yucatán experience. It’s a peaceful moment amid all the adrenaline.
Next up is the zipline, which is claimed to reach heights of up to 27 meters and stretch 400 meters long—plenty of room to get your adrenaline going and enjoy some impressive views of the jungle canopy. If you’re afraid of heights, this might be a bit intimidating, but most people find it exhilarating rather than frightening.
The tour also includes a walk through mystical caves, adding a layer of discovery and connection with the local landscape. For those who opt for the Plus Experience, there’s the chance to drive an ATV along jungle trails—an activity that really ramps up the adventure. The ATV tour covers about 16 km of jungle roads, so you get a good dose of off-road fun.
The Value of the Activities
We love how the activities are carefully curated to give a well-rounded experience of nature and adventure. The zipline’s height and length give it a substantial thrill factor, and the cenote swimming offers a relaxing pause. The caves add an element of exploration that many find captivating.
What’s Not Included
Photographs and tips are extra costs, which is common for these tours. If capturing memories is important, consider bringing a waterproof camera or asking if the guide can take some shots during the activities. Also, be aware that the lower-priced option doesn’t include ATV rides**, so if that’s a highlight for you, you’ll want to upgrade.
