“Great day Xcaret park. River through the caverns was pretty cool. There’s a lot to do there so don’t be worried if you spend the whole day there and think you be bored because we couldn’t even cover the whole park. Never saw the monkeys because they were hiding somewhere. The XPA massage was AMAZING. food is extremely cultural so if you’re a picky eater like we were it was a bit challenging. The show was very entertaining and great at explaining the customs of different areas in Mexico, however a little hard to follow exactly what was happening if you are not fluent in Spanish.”
