About this experience
Xcaret stands out for offering experiences you won’t find combined anywhere else—living Mayan traditions, wildlife conservation, sacred underground rivers, and world-class cultural performances in a single destination.

You’ll also witness meaningful conservation work that protects sea turtles, macaws, butterflies, and jungle species, adding depth to your visit. And as the perfect finale, the iconic “Xcaret México Espectacular” unites more than 500 performers to tell the story of Mexico in a way no other show can match.
