This eco-archaeological theme park showcases the rich biodiversity and cultural traditions of the Yucatan Peninsula. The park's landscape features lush tropical vegetation interspersed with Mayan-inspired structures, creating an immersive environment that educates as it entertains.

Xcaret emphasizes Mexican culture through live performances, including the spectacular evening show "Xcaret Mexico Espectacular," which presents the history of Mexico through music and dance. The park also includes reconstructions of Mayan villages and archaeological sites, offering insights into the region's ancient civilizations.
