Xcaret Park (Regular/Plus)
A visit to Xcaret is one of the most beautiful experiences you can enjoy in the Riviera Maya area.
An ecological park that is amazing in its beauty and is all inclusive
Tigers, flamingos, butterflies, aquariums, a huge 100-meter observation tower overlooking the entire area, a horse show, a spectacular final show about Mexican culture (7:00 p.m.), the park is open from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. throughout the day.
The park's nature-based attractions include a river that runs through a Mayan village, an underground concrete opening where people can swim and snorkel with a life jacket. Near the bay there are leisure activities on the beach, snorkeling, sea trekking and snorkeling on the nearby reefs or swimming with dolphins. The park also has a nesting site for turtles in the coral reef aquarium. Near the entrance there is an area for swimming pools. The park also has a bird pavilion, a butterfly pavilion, a bat cave, an orchid and bromeliad greenhouse, a jaguar island and a deer sanctuary.
The cultural attractions include a replica of a Mayan village with real artisans at work, a Mexican cemetery, a museum, an equestrian show, a Mesoamerican ball game, an open theater with pre-Hispanic dance performances, the flying men of Papantla Gran Tlachco (a theater with a capacity of 6000 people) where the Mesoamerican ball game is represented, as well as a meeting of two worlds, the Mayan and the Spanish, and the presentation of a number of Mexican folklore dances. Other demonstrations of Mexican traditions include the Day of the Dead celebration and the Travesía Sagrada Maya, an annual ritual in which the Maya would cross the sea from Xcaret and Playa del Carmen to Cozumel to pay homage to the moon goddess Xcel. The modern version is a re-creation of this ritual done in late May to early June.
The park also has Temascal and a spa, there are 11 restaurants, changing rooms, souvenir and handicraft shops, as well as an adjacent all-inclusive resort hotel.
However, one of the most common questions when buying tickets is how convenient it is to buy the Xcaret Plus ticket or if the basic ticket is more than enough.
Considering that the economic difference between the two cards is about 30 dollars on average, it is recommended to purchase the Xcaret Plus card.
With both tickets you can enjoy over 50 natural and cultural attractions, with the Xcaret Plus ticket you will have access to the plus area which includes changing rooms, toilets and private lockers, which will undoubtedly be a great convenience during the day.
In addition, you can enjoy a buffet meal with beer included, as well as coffee and fresh water limited to the time of the meal.
You should also remember that there are restaurants that can only be accessed if you purchase the Xcaret Plus card, and that if you choose the basic card, everything you consume inside the park will really be very expensive.
Xcaret restaurants offer an international buffet, Mexican food, a buffet specializing in cuts of meat and fast food service.
