The chants and drums of the Owl Dance and Dance of the Mayan Village will fill their ears, and the ancient stories will be told through performances.
Archaeological Sites
Xcaret is an archaeological adventure, and there are various sites throughout the park to prove it. Take the kids through the jungle trails that lead to the areas that were once home to a Mayan community. The whole family will enjoy this adventure.
Butterfly Pavilion
