These are photos from a trip to Xcaret Ecological Park. Riviera Maya, Mexico; December 2005.
Xcaret
Xcaret is a Maya civilization archaeological site located on the Caribbean coastline of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the modern-day state of Quintana Roo in Mexico. The site was occupied by the pre-Columbian Maya and functioned as a port for navigation and an important Maya trading center. Some of the site's original structures are contained within a modern-day tourism development, the privately owned Xcaret Eco Park.
This eco-archaeological park shows different aspects of the Mayan culture of Quintana Roo, and it also has ecological importance due to its labor for the conservation and reproduction of regional flora and fauna. Within its limits there is the archaeological site Polé, a large variety of tropical animals and plants, and a series of attractions to practice water activities, as well as a beach.
