Tirolesas at Chikin Ha is a compact, high-adrenaline circuit that sends participants across three distinct ziplines above cenotes and the surrounding Maya jungle. A guide accompanies every run, and the course combines two shorter crossings over cenotes with a final tower launch that climbs 25 meters and runs 150 meters back toward the start.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

A coordinated circuit of three ziplines

The experience is organized as a three-line circuit supervised by a guide, with on-site access to facilities such as showers, lockers, bathrooms, palapas and parking included as part of the offering.

THE LINES

Two cenote crossings and one towering glide

The first two lines each cross a cenote at roughly 10 meters of height and extend about 80 meters; the final line departs from a 25-meter tower and traverses approximately 150 meters over the jungle and the first cenote before returning to the start.

THE PRACTICALS

Short, guided, and focused

Runs are brief and guided—designed as a focused aerial circuit rather than an extended canopy tour; note that entry to the cenotes themselves and certain extras are not included.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

Participants move through a compact sequence: two 10‑meter crossings that skim cenote surfaces and a climactic 25‑meter tower launch that carries you 150 meters over treetops and the primary cenote before returning to the starting platform. A guide accompanies the group throughout, keeping the flow efficient and safe.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who gets the most from this outing—and who should reconsider.

1
Adventure SeekersIdeal for travelers seeking a short, concentrated zipline experience above cenotes and jungle with a guide present throughout the circuit.
2
Day‑trip GroupsWorks well as a half‑day addition to a Riviera Maya itinerary: the run itself is brief and on-site facilities are available for changing and storage.
3
FamiliesFamilies comfortable with heights can participate, but note the operator’s on-site rules (for example, the ban on alcoholic beverages) and check with staff about suitability for younger children.
4
Cenote‑focused VisitorsNot a match for travelers whose primary goal is to swim in cenotes—the zipline offering does not include access to cenotes.
