A visit to Xcaret is a must when staying in Riviera Maya, especially if your family is at Hotel Xcaret. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find out Xcaret, along with many other eco-friendly parks, is included with the resort stay.
After everyone has had a satisfying breakfast, you'll head down to the shuttle area for your complimentary transfer to the park. History, culture and adventure await your arrival.
Begin your visit by exploring all the wildlife the park has to offer. Interact with butterflies and parrots, travel through the aquarium on site and see if you can spot the jaguars in the jungle. If that's not enough, take a visit to the majestic marine turtles.
When the kids have seen all the exotic creatures and are ready to splash around, a number of water adventures are available. Take a soak in the calm-water lagoon on the property to cool off after all the walking around.
Afterward, throw on a life jacket and venture through the underground rivers, snorkeling along the way. If your family wants something even more exhilarating, Xcaret has additional aquatic activities that come at an extra cost.
It's about time to dry off and grab a tasty lunch before diving into more fun. Your family can choose from a handful of different restaurants. No matter which one you choose, you'll be sure to enjoy a traditional Mexican dish and fuel up for the remainder of the day. The fun doesn't stop here.
To let your food settle, you may want to take a relaxing walk around the property to visit the various archeological sites before jumping into more activities. Follow the jungle trails to find the sites and have a little cultural lesson at each stop.
For any children age 12 and younger, Children's World should be on the agenda. While the children are sliding down the water slides, walking across the hanging bridges and splashing around in the cenotes, parents can observe from the resting area.
Your family might choose to take a walk through the Mexican Folk Art Museum before grabbing dinner and heading to see some of the evening entertainment. Whether it's the Pre-Hispanic Dances, the Sacred Mayan Journey or the Xcaret Mexico Espectacular, your family will not be disappointed.
Let's just say everyone will sleep well after an adventurous, fun-filled day at Xcaret!
