Aventuras Mayas Jungle Park with Mexican Lunch

If you're all about action and adventure, a day of fun-filled thrills awaits at Aventuras Mayas jungle park. Speed through the jungle by ATV, fly through the treetops by zipline and abseil into a cenote to swim in one of these impressive underground chambers. And when it's time for a break, there's a tasty Mexican buffet on offer. Juanito, one of our local guides, says, ‘In some of the lines, you glide just above the jungle canopy. In others, you can go upside down, while another has the ‘Superman' option. There's even a ‘flying hammock' for you to try out. It's truly exhilarating.'

Arrive at the park and after a quick safety briefing from the instructors, we'll crank up the excitement. The order of activities is decided on the day to ensure crowds are spread out and you can enjoy your experiences to the maximum. You'll swoop through the treetops on an exciting seven-line zipline course. Then, clip into a harness and abseil down a 20m cliff face into an underground cenote for a swim with thousands of stalactites just above your nose.

Then head back up top to take a break with a buffet lunch of local favourites – the Yucatan's signature pulled pork cochininita pibil is usually on the menu – washed down with water and coffee. After fuelling up for the fun to come, it's time to tear across the mud and zoom through the jungle driving your own powerful ATV vehicle. It's non-stop laughs from start to finish along the rip-roaring 11km route.
