About this activity


Book Xcaret Basic from PDC, swim in the subway river, admire the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya, and enjoy the fabulous Xcaret Mexico Espectacular show!


What to do

Undoubtedly, Xcaret is one of the most beautiful treasures of the Riviera Maya, offering a fascinating experience for all your senses. Located in what was once an important commercial port in pre-Hispanic times, this jewel of the Mexican Caribbean is steeped in history.

With its emblematic cove, surrounded by a lush natural environment, this eco-archaeological park promises an unforgettable day, where culture and nature are so perfectly combined. It offers so many activities that you will need several visits to fully explore everything here. The fun includes those of all ages!

Dare to snorkel and swim in its emblematic subway river, in the natural pools, or in the cenotes, and if you prefer, rest quietly in one of the lounge chairs in the beach area, with a refreshing cocktail, while admiring the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Don't forget to stop by the replica cemetery and carefully observe the tombs, each with its own decoration and cheeky epitaphs that reflect the personality of the deceased. You'll love the chapels, sea turtle area, aviary, butterfly house, coral reef aquarium, as well as areas where you'll see manatees, deer, flamingos, and more!

Despite the many activities, you can't miss the Xcaret Mexico Espectacular show, which brings together 300 artists on stage to fascinate you with a selection of the best music, dance, and songs of Mexican folklore. As the sun sets, the sound of pre-Hispanic drums, a line of warriors, and Mayan priests guarding the paths will indicate the beginning of the show. They will demonstrate their history with colorful displays, in which you will be able to witness the most important stages of Mexican history and even the recreation of the impressive Ball Game.
