| Xcaret from Cancun |
14 hours |
|
This so-called 'sacred paradise' is located a 1-hour drive south of Cancun. Xcaret (pronounced eesh-carette), or 'Little Inlet', 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. Man's 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, using them to create a mini-wonderland. There are some small Maya ruins, but these are almost insignificant when you look around at 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 with clear waters for snorkeling, a lagoon for swimming and a beach for relaxing either in the sun or in the shade of the palapas. Or perhaps you would prefer a siesta in a hammock? The most unique feature of Xcaret is it's underground river, which passes through caverns and underground channels - put on a life vest and let the current take you slowly and safely along and marvel at the beauty of nature.
In the evenings Xcaret puts on its finery and shows you another aspect of Mexico in a spectacular evening show. It commences with a re-enactment of the ancient Maya ball game and 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, and then the grand finale - a 90-minute show in an outdoor theater with dances and music from the different regions of the country. A truly memorable evening event!
