The Experience

Xcaret sits in the Mayan jungle where underground rivers, cenotes and the Caribbean coastline meet, and the park spreads across water zones, cultural museums and performance spaces. You swim in shallow cenotes and natural seawater pools, snorkel in the Coral Reef and Aquarium, and walk through the Butterfly Pavilion and Aviary. The Mexican Folk Art Museum holds Yucatan history, and an equestrian show runs during the day. Children's World offers shallow pools and wading areas designed for younger swimmers, so families can split up or stay together depending on what each person wants to do.

Transport picks you up from your hotel in Cancun and brings you back at the end of the day, which removes the logistics of getting to the park without a rental car. Lunch at one of the park's restaurants is included, along with unlimited soft drinks and beer. Lounge chairs, hammocks and rest areas sit throughout the grounds, so you can pace the 13 hours without rushing between stops. Snorkel gear comes with entry, and lockers hold your belongings while you're in the water.

The nighttime show, Xcaret México Espectacular, closes the day with live performance and choreography celebrating Mexican traditions and folklore. It runs after the park's daytime attractions, so the full experience stretches into the evening.
