Xcaret, Maya archaeological site in Solidaridad, Mexico
The archaeological complex features ancient stone structures, cenotes, and underground rivers along the Caribbean coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula.
The settlement functioned as a Maya port and trading center between 1400 and 1517, connecting maritime routes along the eastern coast.
The site preserves multiple ceremonial spaces where Maya merchants conducted rituals and exchanges of goods from distant regions.
Visitors can access the archaeological zones through guided tours that include transportation from nearby hotels in Playa del Carmen.
The natural harbor contains a protected inlet where ancient Maya vessels anchored, making it one of the few preserved maritime trade points.
