Miguel Quintana Pali President and CEO Grupo Xcaret

In 1984, Miguel Quintana Pali purchased 12 acres in Mexico’s Riviera Maya and transformed the land into Xcaret Park. Grupo Xcaret‘s parks also include Xplor, Xenotes, Xoximilco, Xenses, Xel-ha and Xavage. In addition, the group has tours and activities to visit the ancient ruins of Chichén Itzá, Tulum and Cobá.

Xcaret, the original park, offers more than 40 attractions in the jungle, caves and underground rivers of Mexico. These include an aquarium and four archaeological sites. Xel-ha, an eco-adventure water park, includes water slides, snorkelling, and rope swings. Xplor is home to zip lines, rafts, and stalactite river swimming, while innovative experiences can be found at Xenses.

Grupo Xcaret is investing $400 million over the next eight years. The tourism company plans to build five hotels and two new theme parks. “We are proud to be considered the first and most important ecologically and socially sustainable tourism company in Mexico,” said Pali.

Its latest attraction, Xibalbá Park, is due to open by the end of 2022. The $50 million destination will offer a tour of eight cenotes, as well as a traditional Mayan village where guests can purchase Mexican products and crafts.

Located in Valladolid, Yucatán, Xibalbá will cover an area of more than 600 acres and is larger than the original Xcaret. “This is the biggest project that Grupo Xcaret has developed until now. It’s the most lavish, grandiose, the most beautiful,” Pali said in a statement.
