If you can't make up your mind, it might be worth taking a look at the other options. Here are the main ones.

Xplor Fuego with dinner and transport

The night option. When the sun disappears, the park changes its skin. Thanks to the illumination with torches and red LED lights, the atmosphere is very evocative. You will be able to do all the activities planned for the day: amphibious vehicles, river descent, etc. How cool is that?

At the time of booking you will have to indicate the pick-up point (usually a hotel). On the day of the excursion you will be picked up and taken to the adventure park. The price entitles you to a buffet dinner. Book well in advance, this is a very popular activity.

Route to Xcaret, Xel-Ha, Xplor and Chichén Itzá

This option gives you the opportunity to choose. You can choose two of the four attractions. I will give you a short summary:

• Chichen Itza, a complex of Mayan ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula. It is a very ancient city, estimated to have been built around 600/750 AD. The nearby Sacred Cenote could be the reason for its foundation. For more information I recommend you to read the post about excursions to Chichen Itza.

• Xel-Há, the adventure park at the mouth of a river. You can snorkel in a river and a beautiful cove, go down rivers in inflatable rafts and take an adrenaline rush on the zip lines.

• Xcaret, another park where nature is the main protagonist. It is located in a picturesque cove with a small peninsula that shelters turquoise waters. They also organise live shows that recreate the rituals of the Mayans.

• Price: over 200 €.

• Duration: maximum 12 hours

• Includes helmet and life jacket

• Recommended for those who want an option that allows for more than one visit.

The easiest way is to book online. This way you won't have to wait for your arrival in the Riviera Maya and you will secure your entrance to the park.

Xplor - as well as Extreme Adventure Eco Park in Cancun and Xcaret Park in Riviera Maya - is a very busy destination and it's a good idea to book your visit in advance.

The theme park is a paradise for adventure lovers. It alternates forests, caves and rivers with crystal clear waters, the ideal place to enjoy a day outdoors. The list below lists its attractions:

• Amphibious vehicles- how many parks give you the opportunity to drive an off-road vehicle on your own? XPlor has a jungle trail through caves, rocky paths, suspension bridges and small streams. All you have to do is put on a helmet, fasten your seatbelt and follow the signs. By the way, if you are interested in these types of excursions, I recommend you to read the post about the best off-road tours in Cancun.
• Ziplines, two circuits of 2.3 kilometres and 1.5 kilometres. Each one is made up of 7 zip lines that will make you experience an incredible adrenaline rush.
• Underground expedition, a journey that will take you into the bowels of the earth. You will walk among stalactites, stalagmites and a stream with crystalline waters; you will get wet but I assure you that it is an incredible experience.
• Hammocking, the option that combines the zip line with the hammock. The experience ends in a cenote
• Individualrafts orrafts for two that allow you to navigate in the subsoil of the amusement park. There are two routes and, apart from a helmet, you'll be given paddle paddles to help you get around.
• Toboganxote, a tobogganing descent on board a raft. This activity is designed for 4 people and includes 5 exciting descents. The tour ends in a wave pool.

Of course you can! The theme park is located next to Playa del Carmen and about 70 kilometres from Cancun. As it is located in an unspoilt area and somewhat away from the main towns, there are bars and restaurants inside the park:

• El Troglodita, XPlor's only restaurant. You can try ribs, salads, burgers, ceviche and dessert. There is also a buffet option. It usually opens at 11:00
• Oasis and Manantial, the ideal place to start the day with energy. Before any activity you should have a good breakfast; here you will find snacks, biscuits, fresh juices and more.

There is also a bar, the Corazón, but it includes only natural drinks and juices. It's named after a large stone heart covered in red mosaics.

XPlor is an adventure park and therefore requires appropriate clothing. To enjoy the experience to the fullest, I recommend wearing beach shoes that will protect your feet from scratches and minor injuries. I do not advise you to wear sneakers or flip-flops as they become uncomfortable throughout the day.

Other must-haves are:

• Swimwear
• T-shirt (you will spend several hours in the sun and you need to protect your skin).
• Shorts (they are more comfortable on some attractions, e.g. the zip line)

Of course you can, XPlor is designed for the general public, families included. Personally, I think it's best if your child is at least 6 years old. Otherwise, they might not fully enjoy the experience.

In case they are not interested in the zip lines, XPlor has a children's area where you can drive amphibious vehicles or swim in an underground river. For more ideas, I recommend you read the post about 10 things to see and do in Cancun with kids.

Yes, although it can be more expensive or uncomfortable in the end. The bus is the cheapest option. The station is in the centre of Cancun (Calle Pino, supermanzana 23, Manzana 56, Lotes 1 and 2) and a ticket to Playa del Carmen (where the park is located) costs about 80 pesos (about 4 €).

Alternatively, you can opt for a taxi. In this case you should be prepared to spend more. It is advisable to fix a price in advance.

Fornight trips, I recommend relying on an organised tour. If you have a rental car, you can park for free in the XPlor Park car park.

.

• Before you set off on the rides, take some time to look at the park map. You will find it near the entrance. XPlor covers a large area and it's best to get an idea of the routes.
• If you don't have enough cash, you don't have to worry. There are ATMs scattered throughout the park.
• Unlike other parks, XPlor has no relaxation areas. If you want to relax, this is not the place for you. In this case, I recommend you to book a ticket for Xel-Ha Park in Cancun. Here you will find relaxation areas with hammocks (in addition to the adventure rides).
• Bring insect repellent
• I recommend you leave your phone or camera in the left-luggage office. The park's photographers immortalise the best moments. You have two weeks to buy them, if you wish.
• Put on sun cream. You will always be protected by a helmet and waistcoat, but the sun is strong and it is better to avoid sunburn. Choose environmentally friendly sunscreens.
• Take a towel, they won't provide you with one.

Yes, there are other attractions of interest in the vicinity of the park. Many tourists choose to take a trip to Xcaret Park from Cancun. It is an eco-archaeological park and is only a short distance from the XPlor.

Its particularity are the shows: Voladores de Papantla ceremony, pre-Hispanic dances and horse shows. It is also a natural paradise with cenotes, a lush jungle and the classic turquoise sea.

Another nearby destination is Xenses, a park similar to Xplor: adventure rides, zip lines and water games. Its special features are a fast slide and a natural spa. It is open from 7:00 to 12:00 (Monday to Friday) and from 7:00 to 10:00 (Saturday and Sunday).

In case you have a rental car, you can admire a magnificent sunset at Playa del Amor and Playa del Carmen. Look for them in the navigator and let yourself be guided.

There is one last thing I always recommend: the Punta Venado bike park. It has a network of trails through a tropical forest. It is an original experience, perfect for every mountain bike enthusiast.

• It is usually less crowded if you choose the "Fire" option. Attractions such as the zip lines are less crowded.
• The minimum age to enter the park is 5 years old.
• Important: the multi-adventure park does not accept digital tickets. You must print your voucher
• The XPlor park is wheelchair accessible. Please let us know in advance so that we can assist you on the day of your visit.
• The adventure park is closed on Sundays.
• Gluten-free food is available in the restaurants
