The Park has a Museum with scale models of the ancient Maya cities; a Butterfly Pavilion; a Wild Bird Breeding Aviary; an archaeological zone; a Mayan village; two underground rivers; a Botanical Garden housing an Orchid, a Mushroom Farm and an Apiary; the Rincon Mexicano, with an hacienda, stables providing horseback rides, charreria (traditional horsemanship) shows and a fair; a Coral Reef Aquarium; two dolphin areas; a lagoon with manatees; pumas and jaguars on their own lush islands; small mammals representative of the local fauna; five restaurants offering Mexican and Caribbean specialties, along with live music; rest areas; aquatic activities; a rotating scenic tower; and, finally, Xcaret Spectacular Night in the Grand Tlachco.


Xcaret’s Spectacular Nights are experiences that excite the senses. An epic celebration like a giant folklore festival that takes you back to Mexico’s golden days of yore: the splendor of the Mayan kings in the drama of the ball game and the game of the fireball on the majestic “Great Tlachco” court, followed by an unforgettable presentation of the best regional music and dances. More than 250 actors present an incredible parade of colors and sounds!”
