Description |
Xcaret
was, for more than a millennium, a ceremonial and port center
for the Mayans known as "POLE". It is believed that
the Mayans would come here to purify their souls and bodies
prior to crossing to Cozumel to worship IXCHEL goddess of
Fertility or before leaving on a trading trip.
Today
Xcaret is an extraordinary eco-archeological park ideal
for exploration, relaxation and enjoyment. Go back in time
many centuries evoking and enjoying a mystic Mayan swim, an
unbelievable experience floating thirty minutes inside the
underground river and stroll around to enjoy more than 25
attractions among others: The wild bird breeding aviary, the
coral reef aquarium, a buterfly pavilion, or explore the archaeological
site fringed by exuberant flora, animals and birds of the
region or perhaps just relax on the beautiful beach.
And when the sun sets, twilight arrives and transform the
surroundings. Jungle, adventure and water turn into mysticism,
tradition, legend and history. Xcaret dresses all up... Preparing
for Xcaret at night. Xcaret at night is an adventure for all
your senses. The sights and sounds of a grand festival set
in Mexico's golden years, the splendor of Mayan Kings, the
drama of the ball game and the ball of fire and an unforgettable
performance of Mexico's regional music and dance.
