Embark on a Mayan Adventure at Playacar

Located just a short walk from Quinta Avenida, stumble across this small park with ancient Mayan ruins and explore a piece of Mexico's past. Much smaller in comparison to the other nearby ruins, Xaman Ha Ruins are ideal for communing with nature and seeking some quiet time. Meaning "water of the north," Xaman Ha was one of the first settlements seen by the Spanish in the early sixteenth century and proved to be an essential stop for those traveling to and from Cozumel, as many of its inhabitants worked mainly in fishing and farming. Divided into two phases, Xaman Ha can be accessed through a small jungle path. Perfect for a quick tour, the ruins are just minutes from The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences.
