Xcaret - Eco Park
About
an hours drive from Cancun, Xcaret is probably the most
popular of the many natural eco parks and a popular
tour to take. There's an underground river that flows
around the park, which you can swim in and takes you
over a kilometer to emerge next to the gorgeous Xcaret
beach. Explore the park, visit sea turtles, the aquarium,
jaguars, butterfly pavilion and swim with dolphins.
It is recommended that you stay into the evening for
a chance to see the ancient Mayan ball games, one played
with a flaming ball, and the show that gives an insight
into Mexican culture & national dress from the various
states.
Surrounded
by tropical jungle and wildlife you can laze in the
natural lagoon,with thousands of brightly coloured tropical
fish swimming around you. The sound of bird song rings
all around the park making Xcaret a natural paradise.
With the variety of wildlife from Manatees to Macaws
this is a marvellous day out for all the family.
Xcaret
has two naturally occurring underground rivers. The
cold water provides a sharp contrast to that of the
sea and is an ideal way to start off your day. Life
jackets and locking bags are provided at the river entrance
and your belongings will be transported by donkey to
await you at the end of your swim. There are many exits
and stopping points along each river so it is easy to
take a break and either rest or explore. Even non swimmers
will enjoy this.
Xcaret
has probably the best aquarium in Mexico and shows how
the reef community rely on each other to exist. Saltwater
flows freely between the aquarium and the Caribbean,
bringing along a variety of marine life. Do not use
flash photography, as this is harmful to the Corals.
At
additional cost certified open water divers will enjoy
diving Barracuda Reef or the sunken wreck "Mama Viña".
If you’re not certified but want to learn you could
join the professional dive masters for a resort course
and take the plunge. There are several ways to enjoy
the underwater world, so you could try Snuba - diving
without a tank or Sea Trek - diving for the non-swimmer.
Xcaret
offers the opportunity to swim with dolphins
for an additional charge, varying programs
and prices are available. It is strongly recommended
that these are booked in advance. With a typical ratio
of 4 persons to each dolphin, if you try and book this
on arrival at Xcaret you are likely to be disappointed
particularly during peak season.
