Xcaret Park, Playa del Carmen

4.0

#1 of 1,171 in Wildlife in Mexico

Take a short drive out of Cancun to Xcaret Park, where ecologically oriented activities cater to visitors of all ages. The theme park gets its name from a nearby settlement once inhabited by the pre-Columbian Maya, and some of the original village's structures remain. The park's 81 hectare (20 acre) grounds also contain a coral reef aquarium, bird and butterfly pavilions, bat cave, deer shelter, and a greenhouse designed to protect and display delicate orchids and bromeliads. Aiming to entertain both adults and children, the park's nature-based activities include snorkeling with sea turtles and swimming with dolphins. Check the official website for ticket discounts and a complete listing of special performances and family-friendly activities.

A wonderful park, non stop sorprendermos while we visit it, what we think is necessary is to go more than 1 day, as there are so many things and it is so great, that if you go 1 probably miss things!
