“Great day for kids of all ages”
Xcaret (pronounced eesh- carette) was considered by the Mayas as “Nature’s Sacred Paradise”. Today this unique eco-archaeological theme park offers fun for all ages. It is said that this was the ancient port of Pole and that the Maya used to come here to bathe in its waters to purify their minds and bodies before sailing to the nearby island of Cozumel to worship the goddess of fertility, Ixchel.
The nature-based attractions of the park include a river that goes through the Mayan village, a subterranean concrete sluice in which people can swim and snorkel. There are recreational activities from the beach, snorkeling, Sea Trek and Snuba off the nearby reefs, or swimming with dolphins. The park features a coral reef aquarium, turtle nesting site, next to the inlet there is an area for manatees, a bird and butterfly pavilion, bat cave, orchids and bromeliad greenhouse, an island of jaguars and deer shelter.
 
The cultural attractions include a church, replica of a Mayan village with real artisans at work, a Mexican cemetery, a museum, an equestrian show, Mesoamerican ball game, an open theater with performances of pre-Hispanic dances, Papantla flying men and the Gran Tlachco (theater with a six thousand people capacity) .
Other demonstrations of Mexican traditions include Day of the Dead celebration and the "Travesía Sagrada Maya" (Mayan Sacred Crossing), an annual rite when Mayans would cross the sea from Xcaret and Playa del Carmen to Cozumel to pay homage to the lunar goddess Ix Chel. The modern version is a re-creation of this rite done in late May to early June.
The park also has a Temascal and Spa, has 11 restaurants, dressing rooms, souvenirs and handicrafts stores, as well as an adjacent all-inclusive resort hotel.
