Xcaret Eco Theme Park is full of Mexico; Mayan Culture, Flora and Fauna, Archaeological Tours, Water
Attractions and has a great Swim With Dolphin Tour. All this located in Playa del Carmen, 45 minutes from
Cancun Mexico in the Riviera Maya, where Xcaret is proof that development, conservation, culture and entertainment
are not opposite concepts.
With the idea of a tourism development that would add to the attractions of the region, a group of
Mexican entrepreneurs with a very clear vision of the future trajectory of tourism in the State of Quintana
Roo purchased the land surrounding Xcaret.
In 1984, Architect Miguel Quintana Pali, captivated by the spot’s natural beauty, purchased 5 hectares
of this wonderful parcel from the group with the idea of building his dream home.
However, when he began to clear the land, he started uncovering cenotes formed by collapsed cave
ceilings weakened by 3 million years of erosion from underground rivers running through them and
flowing into the sea. He felt that so much beauty should not be accessible only to a privileged few.
