Xcaret is one of the
preferred places on the Riviera Maya, both because of its
archaeological monuments and its Ecological and Archaeological
Park which is dedicated to disseminating the Maya and Mexican
cultures in general, as well as to preserving the environment
and the ecology. Numerous species of animals and plants
are preserved in their natural state within the park's boundaries.
Vestiges of the Mayan Past, a fascinating tour of underground
river, swim with dolphins programs, a spectacular evening
show and more await visitors to this outstanding development
combining the best of the history, culture and natural beauty
of the Mayan World in one beautiful setting. Don´t
miss it!
The Park has a Museum with scale models
of the ancient Maya cities; a Butterfly Pavilion; a Wild
Bird Breeding Aviary; an archaeological zone; a Mayan village;
two underground rivers; a Botanical Garden housing an Orchid,
a Mushroom Farm and an Apiary; the Rincon Mexicano, with
an hacienda, stables providing horseback rides, charreria
(traditional horsemanship) shows and a fair; a Coral Reef
Aquarium; two dolphin areas; a lagoon with manatees; pumas
and jaguars on their own lush islands; small mammals representative
of the local fauna; five restaurants offering Mexican and
Caribbean specialties, along with live music; rest areas;
aquatic activities; a rotating scenic tower; and, finally,
Xcaret Spectacular Night in the Grand Tlachco.
MORE THAN 25 NATURAL
ATTRACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES!
Xcaret’s Spectacular Nights are
experiences that excite the senses. An epic celebration
like a giant folklore festival that takes you back to
Mexico’s golden days of yore: the splendor of the
Mayan kings in the drama of the ball game and the game
of the fireball on the majestic “Great Tlachco”
court, followed by an unforgettable presentation of the
best regional music and dances. More than 250 actors present
an incredible parade of colors and sounds!”
