Some of you may or may not know I recently got married. My wife and I went to Cancun for our honeymoon. While there we booked a day to go to a theme park that was advertised all over town called "Xplor". This park is only about a year old and is set in an ancient cave system loaded with stalactites and stalagmites. There are a number of activities you can do there from zip lines, to cave tours, to amphibious vehicles, to raft tours, etc. Here are a few pictures highlighting the park and the activities you can do while there.Amphibious vehicles are just one of the activities you can do while visiting the Xplor park. They have 2 different routes you can travel that dart in and out of the caves and jungle. Both routes are about 3 miles long, and you drive the vehicles yourself.
Multiple zip lines are spread out all over the park. This one brings you through the waterfall and drops you inside the cave system.
Inside the caves. A little info on the stalactites that hang from the roof of the cave, it takes 100 years for them to grow 1 centimeter in length. There are some in the cave system upwards of 10 feet tall.
The raft tour allows you to navigate your own raft through the cave system.
The swim tour allows you to swim through a specified route inside the caves. They say the water is 72 degrees, but it felt colder then that to the wife and I.
If you ever find yourself in Cancun, and want to do something different. I recommend taking time out to visit the Xplor park, it is pretty amazing.
