Enjoy a day at Xcaret with this ticket-only trip. One of Mexico’s biggest holiday attractions, it’s an all-singing, all-dancing eco-archaeological park that’s great for grown-ups and kids. Laze on the white sand beach, bathe in the jungle lagoons or spy on jaguars, monkeys and bats. Grab a snorkel to waft along the underwater river. Or take the plunge and try Snuba - a weird and wonderful cross between snorkelling and scuba. The kids will also want to visit the aviary and watch the sea turtles. When you get peckish, you can take your pick from five Mexican and international restaurants. Stay around for the nightly show, too. Cue ancient Mayan rituals, rodeo displays and amazing stunts played out on a torchlit outdoor stage. With this trip, you’ll need your own transport but you can arrive and leave when you want. Be aware that some of Xcaret’s attractions have an extra charge.
