Look what just opened today - Toboganxote at Xplor in Riviera Maya, MX!

This is the only 5-in-1 waterslide in the world! 🌊
Toboganxote combines four different types of descent. You will start at 135 ft (41 m) tall on a raft for four people to enter the sphere as you move like a pendulum until reaching the exit towards the wave and getting to the tallest point before going down to the whirlpool. After spinning, you will be shoot to the 72-ft vortex, which is the largest in Latin America, and zigzag sliding until getting to the wave pool.

Note:
The minimum height to participate is 4.2 ft (1.30 m).
It is mandatory to use a helmet and know how to swim
Each raft is for 4 people and the maximum weight per raft is 705 lb (320 kg).
The maximum weight per visitor is 300 lbs (136 kg)

I will put a video in the comments of someone going down the slide! 😊

Hey All! 👋

How about the new GO Riviera Maya outlet mall?! 😳

There are still a lot of things not yet open but they have some regular stores and some high end luxury stores already open, mixed with random things like a small store carrying Asian groceries, pharmacies and of course - Starbucks 🧋 😁 Good place to go on a rainy day! Most of the areas are covered or have parts that are covered to keep you dry.

There is mini golf, an arcade, race cars, axe throwing, batting cages and more. They will eventually have an ice skating rink and more fun things opening. The food court only has 3-4 places open right now but more to come soon.

"But perhaps the easiest and most important way comes at the urging of AAA – use a reputable and professional travel advisor. They are the true troubleshooters and have plenty of contacts.

A travel advisor will be there for you in the event something goes wrong. Working with a trusted travel advisor from the start ensures you're taken care of throughout the entire vacation process." 😎

With more and more travelers, there are more and more people looking to take advantage.

If on an excursion where this is offered (looking at you Saona Island tour groups)...

Nope! 🚫

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐮 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧?
All over the body of starfish are papules called dermal gills. Carbon dioxide gases are exchanged for oxygen between the coelomic liquid of the starfish and the water. Essentially, it’s how they breathe, like having hundreds of tiny noses all over your body.
As fresh air is toxic to starfish and they can’t hold their breath for very long, each time they’re lifted out of the water for a photo op, they are drowning and suffering from a build up of carbon dioxide. It’s the equivalent of someone filling your lungs with water for a little while and then emptying them again. It’s not a good day out. When this is done repeatedly, it’s a flip of the coin as to whether the poor creature can die from drowning or the stress of being semi-drowned so many times.
Wildlife are not our playthings. Just because a creature is slow enough to be caught by human hands, that doesn’t give us the right to do so, and the social media attention gained certainly does not justify the harm caused to the critter.
Now we know better, so we must do better.
