Cancun Horseback Riding, Ziplining & Cenote: Jungle RushHorseback riding, ziplining and cenote swimming combined in a single four-hour activity from Cancun, with hotel pickup, lunch and tequila tasting included.

Playa del Carmen pickups run mornings only; the afternoon option serves Cancun and Puerto Morelos.Is it for me?The morning departure from Playa del Carmen works if you're based there; Cancun and Puerto Morelos guests have both morning and afternoon options.
