Welcome to XCARET! Which route was your favourite?? (We loved the river route!)

[bodvargregersen]

What an unbelievable historical, ecological, and entertainment park. One can go to Xcaret Park for two days and feel like one has seen and been through all of Mexico! This video must rate as one of the best that you have made. Thanks Eric and Sarah for doing such a fine job!

I used to work at Xcaret as a diver and took people out scuba diving back in 96'. It was my first job away from home. This is the first time I've watched a video of how the park has changed and also some familiar parts. Brought back memories! Park prices aren't bad considering that 30 years ago it was still $50USD for the full park and dolphin experience. Also back then, there was a hell of a lot more jungle than what it is now lol.

Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. I was there last year and I absolutely loved it. The last show was amazing. As a Mexican myself I was so impressed at the story telling thru a show. I’m proud to be Mexican 🇲🇽 born in USA but Mexico runs thru my blood. Once again thank you for sharing this.

One of my favorite places in the whole world! It has been a month since my last visit and I’ve been itching and go back since the first week we were home. PHENOM place! And the staff are so warm and loving and speak wonderful English, even though fluent in Spanish. The little coffee shop at the top entrance near the river entrance are so affordable and delicious, and all of the cuisine is outstanding!

I loved XCARET! I wish I was able to do 2 days as we would have been able to see more. Our favorite was the Mexico Extravaganza. Could not get enough picture as I was so captivated by the show and didn't want to miss any of it. Absolutely worth the money we paid.

Was looking into Xcaret as part of my overland trip through Mexico next year. You guys sold me on it, it looks amazing!
Might as well splurge on something amazing like that. Thanks for the awesome review!

One of the most magnificent aquatic parks in the world
One small glance of the Mayan culture
And the majestic lagoons of Aqua water 💦

[Damian_mtn]

You guys TOTALLY missed out on the Mexican food buffet. It’s by far the best one in the park and it showcases all the traditional plates of each state.

The park portion is fun if you like walking around and discovering things you can't see at home, all within the jungle. It is extra money, and quite a bit, about $200 a person. Some people didn't like it since all it really is, is exploring. There are no rides or theme park things if that's what you're looking for. Next time I go, I'll be happy just chilling at the beach without going to the park. This park is kind of like walking around a zoo within the jungle, showing mostly history and culture, but not many animals.

Me andy wife went to that spectacular and such beautiful and pristine park back on 2005 and it was absolutely worth it every single pennh which we invested it in it so im so happy that it got improved nowadays

[cindy]

We absolutely love Xcaret! I have been there 3 times. Planning our 4th visit in September . I never get tired of this wonder of the world. Well worth the money!!

[harishpsgct]

Cool day out video... The espectaular event at the end was exactly as the same says... The commitment of those performers is outstanding... Missed blooper reel at the end but i could understand that in a day where u already had so much to do.. hope you guys enjoyed that long day out

[Wilem]

We loved it, went shortly after the resort opened and back again shortly after the cartel hit by the main pool. The food is great, the parks as well but too pricey at this point for us so off to the newly renovated Bahia Esmerelda in Punta Cana this time.

[edgarandre]

The Mayan Train will soon be inaugurated, in which you will be able to visit more than 60 ancient cities to know more about the Mayan culture and its spectacular natural areas
🇲🇽✔️

There is lots of fish in the snorkeling area. We loved it!! I love XCARET!!!

[SaintSimonsSportsman]

XCARET! is the greatest! We enjoyed the animal exhibits.

[debraprescott]

Looks like an amazing place! Thank you both for sharing it with us all!

I have been to Disney 2014 & 2023 and to Excaret 2024. This are two diferent places can not be compared at all. I think Disney is for children and Excaret is for adults.
Excaret is a natural dimond and disney is a lab dimond but both have their on place in a jewelry store.

[decoman]

been there few years ago i can only say WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE STUNNING PLACE
