Xcaret

Billed as “Natures Sacred Paradise”, this eco-archaeological park lies 72 miles south of Cancún. Paths wind through the jungle to a series of small Mayan temples and all that remains of an ancient port; a lagoon, sheltered beach and rocky inlet. Other highlights include the spectacular underground river which traverses through a series of caverns on a thrilling adventure, an aviary, wildlife corner, aquarium, butterfly farm, botanical garden, snorkeling and diving tours, horseback riding and dolphin swim. Restaurants and shops complete the portfolio of attractions at this perfect day-trip destination.
