Grupo Xcaret

In 1984, the architect Miguel Quintana Pali bought 5 hectares in the Mayan Riviera to build his house. When he began clearing his land, he discovered it had cenotes (natural wells) and underground rivers, so he decided to create a park so that everyone could have access to the local natural marvels.
Together with the brothers Oscar, Marcos and Carlos Constandse, Miguel Quintana turned his idea into reality, in a park that was named Xcaret. From its opening in December 1990, Xcaret has been acknowledged as one of the most famous attractions of the touristic destinations in Cancun-Riviera Maya. Today Grupo Xcaret is globally a socially responsible leader company in sustainable touristic entertainment.

Grupo Xcaret was started in 1990. It's a 100% Mexican corporate group and leader in sustainable touristic entertainment. Its history reveals its commitment by offering unforgettable experiences based on respect for nature, deep love for life and a great admiration for Mexico.
In 1995, Quintana Roo’s Government granted Xcaret members the permission to operate Xel-Há Park. This attraction offers visitors the possibility to enjoy the wonders of aquatic life in an amazing inlet with tropical fish, considered the most beautiful natural aquarium in the Mexican Caribbean.
In 2009, with Xplor Grupo Xcaret engaged in a touristic market of controlled adventures, offering unique attractions in which innovation, technological development and service excellence are combined. The most fascinating thing is its high security, accessibility and comfortable design, that has allowed the access of massive tourism for the enjoyment of visitors of different ages, sex and physical constitution.
In 2010, the local archeological zones tours project began. The Xichén tour includes a visit to Chichen Itza and to the Pueblo Magico (a status granted to some towns for their magical environment) of Valladolid in Yucatan. To offer more options, there are some variations that include tours to Tulum and Coba combined with a visit to one of our parks.
In 2013, 2 more parks were added: Xplor Fuego and Xoximilco, along with the tour Xenotes to the cenotes route in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo.
With the opening of the “Xenses” park in 2016, Xcaret entered the “sensory tourism”, since all its attractions represent a challenge to human perception and allow for fun experiences for the senses.
