This so-called 'sacred paradise' is in the heart of the Riviera Maya. Xcaret (pronounced eesh-carette) is one of the loveliest and most unusual venues in the area. 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.

Mans ingenuity combined with natures splendor has formed a very interesting park with a variety of attractions. The park has focused on the areas natural flora, fauna, and natural landscape and used these to create a mini-wonderland. Explore the botanical garden, aviary, aquarium, stables and butterfly farm. There is an exhibition with scale models of all the major archaeological sites of the Yucatan. There is also an inlet for snorkeling, a lagoon for swimming and a beach for relaxing either in the sun or in the shade of the palapas.

In the evenings Xcaret puts on its finery and shows you another aspect of Mexico in a spectacular evening show. It's a show like no other, commencing with a re-enactment of the ancient Maya ball game. Then you walk through torch-lit underground passageways evoking the atmosphere of ages past with candles and incense and ancient music. It seems there is something more spectacular around every corner! Followed is the grand finale, a 90-minute show in an outdoor theatre with dances and music from the different regions of the country! A truly memorable evening event.
