Xplor Cancun
You may have wondered what Xplor is. And the truth is that the answer is quite simple; It is an adventure park where you can do different extreme outdoor activities. The best thing about this park is that you can enjoy up to six adventures in one place.
One of the things we liked the most about this park was the attention we received from the pick up until we left the park; the guides are trained to answer all your questions at each of the attractions and their buffet is full of healthy and delicious food. Don’t forget to try a smoothie at their beverage stations.
Xplor attractions
The Mexican Caribbean offers us much more than beaches and parties, which is demonstrated in the attractions that Xplor has; and they are all super exciting. The best thing apart from being surrounded by nature is that there is something for all tastes; We will tell you a little about them. Knowing Xplor is one of the best things to do in Cancun.
Ziplines
Who has not dreamed of flying? Well, the Xplor zip lines offer you a similar experience. You can fly while enjoying the scenery in the most visited zip line park in the world. Yes, so impressive as it reads, after visiting the park we discovered why it is so famous; It has two circuits of seven zip lines each one between slides and hanging bridges.
The zip line was one of our favorite activities, you can feel all the adrenaline of the moment but being totally safe. In addition, it is an excellent appetizer for everything that comes afterward; the most fun of the zip line circuit is landing in a cenote.
Amphibious vehicles
These ATVs are designed to cross the rocky roads and flooded caverns of the jungle; During the two tours of this circuit, we were able to enjoy the majestic view that the place offers you and the occasional wild animal that crosses the road.
Surrounded by the jungle, in this activity, we traveled two circuits of 5 kilometers each. The vehicles are capable of floating, the capacity is two adults and two children; and of course, they give you safety equipment.
Underground swim
One of the must-see activities is found underground, in an underground river full of stalactites and stalagmites, among which you can swim at your own pace; while you cool down to 24 ºC after so much adventure.
The route is 400 meters long, and you will be able to find emergency exits along the entire route in case you do not want to continue with the route; yes, you must keep the life jacket during your entire stay in the river.
Rafts
Xplor Cancun will put your coordination to the test in this activity, in which we traveled one of several underground rivers that the park has onboard a raft; in which, we had to use our hands as paddles while traveling through caves in two incredible circuits of several meters.
Tyrolean hammock
Xplor has this fun and unusual idea of combining a hammock and a zip line; Although the journey is not very long, it is totally worth living it; not counting its landing in a cenote. It is ideal for the little ones because its height is four meters.
Expedition
This is a fairly new activity within Xplor, and it is an underground expedition as you walk through crystal clear water into the caverns. They gave us the opportunity to choose between taking an adventurous or a quieter path to get to the grand canyon, so that will depend on your energy.
There are 740 meters of beautiful landscapes between caverns and jungle, which we were able to travel in no more than 45 minutes, and which were full of surprises. At the beginning of the tour, we were greeted by a host who gave us all the necessary information about the tour. In addition, along the way, we find lifeguard sections and hosts ready to help us if we need it.
Xplor Fuego
