If you’re a bold adventurer, afraid of nothing, and someone for whom sustainable vacation entertainment is important, the whole Caribbean invites you to take on the Xtraordinary experience of the Xcaret Theme Parks, a now legendary series of attractions on the Riviera Maya. Royal Travel invites you to get in on the fun at any of eight different paradise theme parks whenever your set for adventure along the Riviera Maya. If you’re finding it hard to decide which, below is a brief description of what each has to offer! You may just want to visit them all! Wear comfortable clothes and walking or tennis shoes because you’re going to need them.
XCARET
Take the whole family because the park that started it all presents you with 50 big attractions, and all of them for all ages. Visit multiple Mayan ruins, a Museum of Popular Mexican Art, the Chapel of Guadalupe with a stunning image of the Virgin some 40 feet tall. You can also tour a Mexican cemetery, an aviary, butterfly range, or choose between four underground rivers to swim (with a life jacket). If that’s not enough, you can also enjoy ongoing pre-Hispanic dances with more than 300 performing artists on stage.
XOXIMILCO
Let yourself be carried along the canals aboard a canal boat especially designed to let you sing along with traditional live music. Sample an exquisite variety of Mexican food and toast the whole day with a traditional tequila. Be a part of it with your family or friends, from the golden age of everything that is the Riviera Maya.
XEL-HÁ
Load up your snorkel gear for unlimited water activities in the ocean coves, cenotes, and lagoons you’ll find at Xel-Ha. Glide along zip lines, or for the truly fearless, take a plunge off the Bravery Stone, only to relax a bit more onboard the inner-tube river tour. Don’t want to get wet? Take off for the jungle on an off-road bike. At Xel-Há, you’ve got nothing to do but have fun.
XPLOR & XPLOR FUEGO
Two parks to unleash the adrenaline! A day at Xplor Park means all kinds of activities for the adventurous: glide along incredible zip lines, take an amphibious vehicle through the rivers and the jungle and even into vast caverns full of stalactites and stalagmites. When the sun starts to set, all about Xplor Fire with the same attractions but illuminated only by burning torches. Now that’s one more incredible way to experience the Riviera Maya’s unbelievably starry sky.
XENSES
Nothing is what it seems at Xenses. You and your family get a day full of activities within fantastic scenery to stimulate all the senses. Take to a small town with where you’ll need to re-learn your sense of balance. Fly along a zip line or take to the natural Xpa to immerse yourself in true natural goodness. A dozen different routes mean there are still more and more ways to relax and enjoy.
XENOTES
The mysticism, nature, and adventure come together on a route through four cenotes. Get over your fear by descending into a cavern, through assisted rappelling. You’ll then launch yourself seven meters into another ancient cenote. Swim along and you’ll be stunned by the natural beauty of semi-sheltered cenotes, outdoors or completely under water. You’ll take on truly millennial energy in swimming or rowing a kayak to a fully open cenote. The experience is open just to small groups, so the experience is heightened for everyone. Along the way, there are lifeguards, a photographer, doctor, and a certified guide. But what you’ll find is your own inner nature.
XAVAGE
Your wilder side has a place to roam free. Xavage offers true adventure as a common denominator on every activity offered in the park. Take a white-water raft along the world’s longest artificial river circuit, climb suspended obstacles up to 120 feet high in the Ropes Course, drive your own Monster Truck onto abandoned trails full of fun, rocky obstacles, or max out your adrenaline when you climb into the Jet Boat, that spins your vacation around a full, and unexpected 360 degrees. But don’t wait! Xcaret books up fast and entire seasons sell out. Talk to Royal Travel about your admissions and take advantage of exclusive Members Only discounts.
