Xcaret Mayan Eco Park Tours
We have the most complete selection of tours to Xcaret Mexico.
Travel back in time at the Maya Village. Like most ancient cities, common people
lived on the outskirts of town, while the centers were exclusive to palaces and temples.
The Mayan were no different. Their houses were constructed in circular or half-
The Maya were wise builders; palm thatch was harvested only during full moons to
yield the most sap filled fronds (better waterproofing and lasting up to 25 years),
and houses were planted with insect and animal repelling plants. The village rings
an ancient altar. A traditionally dressed weaver creates handicrafts on-
There is even a Mayan mirror in the washrooms. Wander through living history at the Mayan Village.
Xcaret´s spectacular night show is an experience for all your senses: an epic celebration
with the sights and sounds of a grand festival set in Mexico´s golden years and the
mysticism and splendor of ancient Mayan kings. It features a colorful fair, the drama
of the pre-
Bask in a pristine natural lagoon —the site of ancient Pole, revered by the Maya, and one of the finest examples in the Riviera Maya. Dive in — you’ll be surrounded by schools of curious, brightly colored tropical fish. Ringed by comfortable chairs, picnic tables and hammocks, the Blue Lagoon’s sparkling ambience makes for great fun in the sun or superb relaxation. Tropical birds on nearby tiny islands fill the air with exotic sounds; the whole of the lagoon is surrounded by lush tropical jungle. Restaurant and snack bars are within a brief walk. Easy access to the water for children and physically challenged.
There are multiple exits and stopping points along each river so you may take a break
or explore. Easy and safe, even for non-
A lot of unseen work and energy is poured into Xcaret so visitors may enjoy a fabulous day of leisure and enlightenment. The people who work arduously day after day are the ones that make the park's existence and development possible.
Behind every attraction, a team of scientists specialized in each area. All of them are Mexican, and thanks to their involvement and dedication Xcaret has achieved what many thought were impossible projects to accomplish.
Unique rivers wind through Xcaret’s naturally occurring system of underground rivers. Cool and refreshing, either of the Park’s two subterranean river experiences are a great way to start your day. Life jackets and locking bags for your personal belongings are provided at the entrance to each river. Your belongings will be waiting for you at the end of your adventure.
Xcaret has created a groundbreaking program in ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, in which 100 students are invited daily, free of charge, during the school year. For this specific department Xcaret counts on a group of biologists, pedagogues and designers who coordinate the children's visits to the park, aside from preparing all the didactical material and interactive games that they implement.
Everything in the park supports that modern development, conservation and fun are not exclusive from one another; and that the world must be seen, lived, reestablished and kept alive, for its healthy sojourn.
Over 200 performers in an incredible pageantry of color, sight and sound!

Xcaret has five wading pools waiting for you, just to one side of the beach. Seawater, straight from the Caribbean, flushes the pools, making them natural jacuzzis!
Subterranean River
Designed by nature and enhanced by man you will enter the 530-
The Beach
What better way to spend part of any day that at the beach? XCARET has a beautiful beach on the Caribbean Sea. Pure white sand, crystal clear warm Caribbean water, accented with coconut palms and Palapas and lounge chairs to protect you from the sun and give you a chance to recharge your energies as the Mayans did.
XCARET Inlet
This small inlet where the cool pure waters of the underground river
mix with warm salty waters of the Caribbean is where the Mayans came for over 1000
years to purify their bodies and souls. Stand in 4 feet of water and feel the cool
water on your feet and the warmer seawater on your stomach and chest. Truly a unique
experience.
The LAGOON
Between the jungle and the beach is the lagoon. A perfect place to see some wild birds and do a little relaxed snorkeling. Around the lagoon hammocks are located to relax in.
Nature's Whirlpools
5 pools constructed so that you can enjoy the force of ocean waves,
without having to swim in the open the sea. The water swirls through the natural
shaped tubs like a whirlpool.
Joy and inspiration are the essence of this gala where 300 artists on stage will
delight you with the best of culture, music and regional dances of Mexico.
The Xcaret
Spectacular Mexico Night Show is without a doubt the best folklore show in Mexico
and the best known world wide When the sun sets, the call of the mystical pre-
The fire lights
up the Valley of Scents where Mayan warriors and priests, surrounded by incense and
copal, guard the way to the Gran Tlachco. This majestic theater that can hold 6,000
spectators is ready to surprise you with the most beautiful show of prehispanic and
popular culture.
The celebration begins with a journey through space and time to
the age old legends about the origins of creation. Pre-
Ocean lovers can choose to snorkel on their own, free of additional charge, or snorkel in an organized tour (not included in your tour.)
XCARET is home to the caves of XCARET and "Barracuda Reef." Dive with the experts of XCARET. This activity is not included in your tour and carries additional charges.
Bird Sanctuary
Here you will see an area of reproduction and exhibition of birds
natural to the region. Over 30 species, many of which are in danger of becoming extinct.
One of the ambitious projects of XCARET is the raising and reproduction of Guacamayas.
These birds are in danger of extension. Once found in the Mexican States of Oaxaca,
Veracruz, Tamaulipas and Chiapas, today they can only be found in the wild in Chiapas.
Born blind and without feathers the Guacamayas must eat every hour for 15 days. Monogamous
these beautiful birds can live to be 50 years old.
Another ambitious project is the
breeding and raising of the 5 different kinds of flamingos found on the Yucatan peninsula.
Enjoy Flamingo Island where you can see these beautiful birds, which can live to
be 30 years old.
Butterfly Pavilion
XCARET has one of the largest butterfly pavilions in the world.
The objective, aside from allowing tourist to see butterflies in their natural environment,
is to breed and reproduce butterflies in danger of becoming extinct. The "larva factory"
is where you will see all the stages in a butterfly's life, the eggs, the larvae,
the cocoon, and finally the butterfly. With a little luck see butterflies coming
out of the cocoon and entering the world. The best time to visit the open-
Marine Turtles
XCARET, since 1996 has helped various world governmental bodies study and reproduce marine turtles as they are in danger of extinction. Here you will see young turtles smaller than your hand, to old giants as big around as a car tire. Living to an age of 100 years only 2 in 100 turtles born reach the age to reproduce.
Jaguars and Puma Island
The Jaguar was one of the most important symbols to the Maya.
All the mammals that you see in XCARET will appear not to be in cages. The Jaguars
and Pumas are in their natural environment and on an island surrounded by a deep
ravine full of water. Xcaret has been very successful at breeding these beautiful
symbols of the Yucatan peninsula.
Crocodile Lagoon
For more than 140 million years crocodiles have been the terror of
lagoons and rivers in the tropical zones. Even though they are cold blooded and spend
a lot of time warming themselves in the sun, they are very agile and speedy hunters
when stalking and attacking prey. See these ancient egg laying monsters in their
natural environment.
Bat Cave
At the end of the lagoon you will find a bat cave home to the two kinds of
bats that inhabit the area. There are insect eating bats that are great at controlling
the fly and mosquito population in the Yucatan and fruit eating bats that are responsible
for spreading the seeds of local fruit trees that grow wild in the Yucatan area.
Botanical Gardens and Green areas
60% of the trees and plants in the botanical garden retain their foliage all year
round. Here you will find ornamental trees and plants as well as plants used in medicines,
chewing gum, even a native plant used by the Mayas against poisonous bites.
As "chicle"
or chewing gum was a very important product of the area at the turn of the century
you will also find a "Villa Chiclera" or a house where chicle is produced which used
to be used in the production of chewing gum.
With the objective of finding another
industry for the local rural population XCAERT has an on going project of studying
edible mushrooms. 22 species of orchids have been successfully grown at XCARET and
they are trying to grow all 76 species native to the region.
The Mayan Ball Game
The Mayan ball game is reenacted at XCARET each day. This game
was one of the most important of the rituals for the Maya. The modern tourist is
amazed to learn that the captain of the winning team (not the losing team) was beheaded
as a reward. This sacrifice by him was so that he could live with the Gods.
XCARET at Night
As the sun sets get ready for XCARET at night where you will see one
of the most spectacular shows in all of Mexico. See a folkloric show, Indian dancers,
singers, and horsemanship at its best. Witness the famous "Papanatla Fliers". An
ancient Indian ceremony from the state of Veracruz dedicated to the Sun God to insure
that the harvest would be good. 4 fliers atop a tall pole do the ceremony. The 4
fliers represent the 4 important elements: land, air, fire and water; if the 4 important
elements are not in equilibrium then natural disasters occur. The same for the fliers.
If they are not in equilibrium they will be met with a disastrous fall.
Mayan Village
See the genius of Mayan technology in the way they lived. Their homes were built so that the breeze blew through the house and with a thatched roof that not only lasted 20 to 25 years but also kept the house cool and dry. Each Mayan home also had their own small garden.
Archaeological Site
With more than a thousand years of history the archaeological
site at present day XCARET was constructed in the post-
Museum
The museum at XCARET is unique in that it houses replicas in miniature of the
12 most important cities of the Mayas. Replicas so exact that when you photograph
them the photos look as though they were taken from an airplane.
Aquarium
The aquarium at XCARET is really an example of the living coral reef. Here
you will see what most people see while snorkeling and diving. Flushed with fresh
seawater the aquarium is state of the art.
