experiencias Xcaret Park is a theme park and an ecotourism development located in the Riviera Maya, a portion of the Caribbean.
Although Xcaret in Mayan means small inlet, it’s jam-packed with a lot of fun things to do. Sometimes it’s hard to even know where to start, so here are 10 of our favorite suggestions:
Take a Boat Trip: Climb aboard a comfortable raft where you will float through Paradise River and look for little surprises along the way, such as blue crabs, iguanas, and more. Don’t worry, there’s no wild rafting here – it’s just a nice, enjoyable ride.
Spill Your Secrets: At the House of Whispers, you will be able to hear the murmurs that are being shared at this venue, one of the highest points of the park. What secret will you spill?
Get Artsy: When you’re visiting another country, the best experience you can have is to get immersed in their culture and cuisine. The Museum of Mexican Folk Art offers exhibitions that showcase traditional work from local artists.
