Xcaret

Xcaret is a water park, theme, amusement, eco-archaeological and more, in one place. Due to its privileged location in the Mayan jungle between underground rivers, cenotes and in front of the imposing Caribbean Sea, it has impressive scenarios which you can enjoy in different activities that make the most of each one of them. In addition to the amazing natural settings, Xcaret is a park that celebrates the present and the rich history of the past of Mexico, a country renowned for its traditions and folk culture.
