Legend says the Mayan gods pooled their wisdom, dreams and
love of beauty to create a place where the best of the Caribbean
nature came together. The ancient Mayans called the area Xel-Há:
"where the water is born".
This
tropical park is a place of unimaginable beauty, where a turquoise
lagoon, a river with a gentle current and an exuberant jungle
get together to comprise a unique landscape by the sea. You
just need to step into its jungle to find ancient Mayan cenotes.
Xel-Há is a natural aquarium of a beauty that is unique in the world;
discover its magic with your mask and snorkel, relax as you
swim amongst hundreds of multicolored fish that have made
their home at the river and the lagoon.
The
emerald green of the jungle surrounds the river and the lagoon
at Xel-Há to create an exotic view, hard to find anywhere
else. You can explore this beautiful place on foot, bicycle
or taking a ride on its mini-train, while enjoying the different
species of flora and fauna in their natural habitat.
Xel-Há is a universe dedicated to the environment and to the preservation
of the native flora and fauna. Within the park you will find
a turtle camp, a dolphin aquarium and an apiary, where the
preservation of the species is promoted in order to contribute
to the awareness and environmental maintenance of the area.
If you take the all-inclusive option at the park, you will
be entitled to take an environmental tour and will be able
to learn more about the nature of this beautiful place.
Xel-Há
is just a few minutes away from the mysterious ruins of Tulum,
the only walled Mayan city located by the ocean. Due to its
closeness to Xel-Há, it is ideal to visit both places
on the same day.
ACTIVITIES
Swimming or snorkeling in the inlet, pleasantly navigating
the river; sunbathing or taking a beach stroll; walking the
many different paths and entering into the jungle; admiring
the cenotes; uncovering the ancient wall of the Mayan port;
discovering the variety of fish, birds, butterflies, iguanas,
macaws, ducks, etc.
You
can also enjoy other activities such as swimming with the
dolphins, getting to know our Aquatic Institute while enjoying

a helmet (Sea Trek).
