Explore One of the Most Beautiful Archaeological Sites in Mexico
The mysterious Xcaret Ruins of Mexico offer visitors a variety of ways to explore the Mayan culture. Located on the Caribbean coastline of the Yucatán Peninsula, the Mayan archaeological site and ruins lie within Xcaret Eco-Theme Park, perfect for touring individually or within your park pass. Dating back between 1400 and 1517 AD, Xcaret represented the ceremonial center for the Mayan people that would visit to purify themselves before sailing to Cozumel to worship the goddess Ixchel. The site also functioned as a port for navigation and maritime trade. Most of the site's original structures are contained within a replica village in theme park's Tropical Rainforest between the Open Forum and the Coral Reef Aquarium.
