Visiting Xel-Há will always be a good idea, of that we have no doubt. 💚
The best definition we can give to Xel-Há is: "A place to connect with you and disconnect with everything you don't need."
This is the favorite park of many. There isn't a person who doesn't want to return to this beautiful paradise. Something that makes it unique is its diversity of activities: aquatic, recreational, and for children. We all have a place in our hearts to love the landscapes of the cove and the connection it generates with all the ecosystems.
If you are a fan of aquatic activities, this blog will be of great help for you to know the experiences that will make you connect with nature in a unique way.
Let's go over them one by one and at the end, you will surely want to try them all.
The activities at Xel-Há are mainly aquatic. However, it is also an excellent place to have fun and have a deep connection with the natural environment.
Here you will find a 40-meter-high slide that serves as a lighthouse lookout to admire panoramic views of the cove and the jungle. You can also hike through nature trails, slide down water zip lines, ride a bike through the park, and much more—there is always something fun to do!
This slide is 40 meters high and is considered one of the highest in the Riviera Maya, even in all of Mexico. The 360° views are breathtaking, and the descent is full of adrenaline. For this reason, it is a favorite activity for those seeking adventure.
