A jungle park with a multi-line zip-line circuit, optional ATV or buggy ride and a cenote swim stop, roughly 15 minutes from Puerto Morelos town. Reseller packages commonly run about USD 80-170 per adult.
The Selvatica Zip-line and ATV Jungle Adventure takes place at Selvatica Adventure Park, at Km 18 on the Ruta de los Cenotes near Puerto Morelos, about 15 minutes inland from the town and roughly 45 minutes from Cancun in Quintana Roo, Mexico. The park combines a multi-line zip-line circuit through the jungle canopy with an optional ATV or buggy ride on forest tracks and a swim stop at a cenote, the freshwater sinkholes typical of the Yucatan Peninsula. A typical programme lasts around three and a half hours. Reseller packages commonly run about USD 80 to 170 per adult depending on the activities included, and the operator also sells directly through its website. The experience is moderately demanding rather than technical: participants should be able to walk on uneven ground, climb short platform stairs and hold a harness position, and the ATV and buggy portions require following the guide in single file. Operators of this kind normally set minimum ages, weight ranges and licensing rules for driving, so visitors with children should check the current requirements before booking. Helmets and harnesses are provided, and visitors bring closed shoes, a swimsuit, a towel and insect repellent, although repellent and sunscreen should be rinsed off before any cenote swim. The park uses trained guides who fit equipment, explain braking and signals, and supervise each platform. Safety briefings cover zip-line braking positions, ATV controls and speed limits, and rules for staying in line. In an emergency the staff use radios and park vehicles to reach the entrance, and injured guests are taken to clinics in Puerto Morelos or hospitals in Cancun. The jungle is open year-round, but the park may close or pause lines during storms and lightning, and heavy rain can make tracks muddy. Mornings are cooler and drier, while the rainy season from roughly June to October brings more humidity, insects and the chance of afternoon downpours.
