Xcaret in Mexico is one of those unmissable must-do-activities that people talk about, but has to be seen to be believed. From Maya culture and natural wonders to snorkelling with tropical fish and exploring verdant jungles, there is something for everyone here at one of Mexico\u2019s most exciting ecotourism developments.

We spoke to Michel Cervantes, the Deputy Director of Customer Acquisition at Experiencias Xcaret. Michel gives us an inside look at his role, talks about the challenges his team are facing and overcoming going forward, and gives us a few tips on making the most of the park when you’re there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey Michel, thanks for agreeing to join us on the blog! Can you tell us a bit about what your role involves at Experiencias Xcaret and how long you’ve been working for Xcaret?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m in charge of coordinating the digital marketing and web sales teams, including the direct channels and the intermediation of our products. I participate in the creation of strategies to exceed sales objectives, product positioning and brand awareness for the group’s parks, tours and hotels. I love my job; I love the different levels of creativity that are required to implement marketing and sales strategies. There is a lot of information that must be analyzed to be relevant, and when you start to see the results, it\u2019s like magic.

Working with many talented people inside and outside Xcaret is also something that feeds me in a positive way and helps me stay current. Plus, my friends on social media think I am on vacation all the time! I always go to product testings with my team and I have had to do different types of water activities, learn about animals and nature, and try all kinds of interesting adventures and cultural activities.

I have been working for Experiencias Xcaret for nine years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you see people enjoying the most often when they come to Experiencias Xcaret<\/strong>?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are experiences related to nature, culture, water activities, adventure, archeology, etc. This means that there’s something for everyone at Xcaret, but everyone always has a favorite.

The two highest rated attractions of Xcaret are the underground rivers<\/strong> and the night show<\/strong>. In the river, people get to connect with nature and they have a space for mental relaxation and a little physical activity \u2013 it\u2019s a perfect balance. The evening show takes tourists on a musical journey through the history of Mexico. It presents the best of our traditions in a very entertaining way with more than 300 artists on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what is your favorite part across the attractions?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It’s difficult to choose just one, especially now that I know the parks much better. But my favorite parts are the animal conservation programs and the most emotional acts of the evening show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a seasoned visitor, what tips do you have for visiting Xcaret?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you get there:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Definitely pre-purchase your tickets for easy access. You can also download the app to have extra information and to move easily within the park. Don’t hesitate to inquire at visitor-attention about the activities we have on offer to make a quick plan of what you want to visit.

Consider the physical state of your family when planning a visit to Xcaret; traveling with children or older adults can have mobility challenges and the park is very large. Strollers and wheelchairs can be rented. There are beautiful places where part of the family can rest while others can have fun, like the cove for snorkeling. You can also plan to separate, to engage in some different activities, and meet again later to eat or enjoy the next activity.

Xcaret can be a romantic destination, a quiet, tranquil place or an adventurous day out, depending on the type of traveler you are. It’s worth making a schedule ahead of time to make sure you cover all the activities that interest you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
