Of the nearly 60,000 people who pass through Cancún's massive international airport each day, a good number of them are surely heading for a relaxing week. They are looking forward to digging their toes into white sand beaches, sipping margaritas, and munching on fresh ceviche.
You probably want to enjoy those things, too. But the fun doesn't have to stop there. Check out the ample selection of Cancun adventures available along the Riviera Maya to ensure that your vacation never becomes boring.
Xcaret Knows the Xecret to Xciting Adventure

The most visible, accessible adventure tour options are Xcaret properties. Xcaret runs a massive 80-hectare theme park midway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, and it's only one of their half-dozen locations in the Riviera Maya region.
Depending on your tastes, you can take an easy-going raft tour through an underground river, go zip lining across jungle treetops, snorkel or swim in cenotes (natural pools), or check out jungle life in its natural habitat, from colorful birds and creeping jaguars, to dolphins and the massive, gentle whale sharks.
Xplor, awe your Xenses, visit the Xenotes, or take a deluxe tour of the ancient city of Xichén Itzá (you may be noticing a trend). Xcaret loves the "X" so much, it even operates a small park themed around Mexico City's Xochimilco district, with mariachi bands playing on the same wide, flat river boats which still populate the ancient canals of what was once the Aztec empire of Tenochtitlán.
You choose exactly how heart-thumping you want the adventure to be, and Xcaret will figure out the rest.
