"This is a wonderful place to visit -- you don't want to miss X-Caret!
"It is an eco-park where you will find a lot of fauna. The nice thing about this place is the many underground rivers, which are totally safe even for little children (with parents). You pay for your ticket and you have access to most of the activities there. They have snorkeling and something called snuba, which is like diving, but you breathe through a hose and you go walking under the sea. They have bat caves and a very brief play at night about Mexican history -- you must watch it! They have little plays and pre-Hispanic dances all around the park, plus a horse show of the charrería mexicana. You will find a tulip park and the beach there is beautiful. The underground rivers are so cool -- they provide you with a life jacket and you swim along the river. They have several entries and exits and it is not deep at all plus there is no way of getting lost in there. 
They have raccoons, birds, a butterfly sanctuary, and a little museum for children about how butterflies live.
"It is a huge park so it would be recommended if you are traveling with your family to bring radios to communicate to each other so everyone can enjoy what they want. A great place to visit!"

The Evening Show
"The evening show at Xcaret is not to be missed. It does make for a long day, but since the entertainment is included with the entrance fee, you may as well enjoy it...
"As we went through the entry gate, we were all given a candle in a paper holder. Shortly before the show was to start, one of the hosts lit the candle of each person closest to the aisle. It was truly an experience of sharing as the flame progressed along each row, and it was also one of wonderment and beauty as the sparks of light pierced the night sky.
"The show began with the demonstration of two games played by the people of the area long ago. 
One was played by hitting a soccer-type ball with one’s hip; the other involved a ball on fire and a lacrosse-type of stick. Following that there was a history of Mexico set to dance and song, and it was absolutely spectacular—not to be missed."

Cave Snorkeling
"Well, as if Cancun isn't enough to see, they just have to continue offering amazing things to see. Ever looked at yourself and said, "Why don't I ever get a chance to snorkel/swim through caves?" - Well, that's because you haven't gone here!
"First, I'll admit, I don't swim in open waters as I've already lost two relatives that way, but when I saw a 5-year-old boy jump in the water like it was his bathtub, I said, I'm not going to let this kid punk me! So, with my life vest and my wife we snorkeled/swam for a good distance (about maybe two miles?), through the caves and into the woods (kidding on the 'woods' part). But I had an awesome time. My wife doesn't know how to swim and she was taken away (no pun intended). Amazing to see the fishes just pass below you and brush side you (the daring fishes :-) ) There's so much to write but I don't want to give everything away, so I'll let you be surprised."

"I had heard about swimming in the underground river and was very anxious to do so. Lifejackets were arranged by size, and there were plenty of personnel to help you—they were mandatory...
"Because there was a current, you could drift slowly along, but most people chose to swim. At the entryway and at several points along the river, there were markers indicating how far it was until the next debarkation point and how many meters until the end...
