Xplor, Amusement park in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Xplor is an outdoor amusement park that offers adventure activities including zip lines, amphibious vehicles, underground river swimming, and suspension bridges set within the tropical jungle environment.
Xplor opened in 2009 as the third park of Grupo Xcaret, after Xcaret and Xel-Há. It was built south of Playa del Carmen, near Xcaret, in an area of cenotes and limestone caves. The park added zip lines, amphibious vehicles and underground river swimming to the Riviera Maya's park offerings.
The park's cenotes and limestone caves are the setting for its activities, and the name Xplor plays on the English word "explore". A carved boulder at the site shows a bearded face with the word "OUCH" in a speech bubble, beside warnings in Spanish and English not to touch the stalactites because touching kills their growth. Yellow flowers set into a grassy slope spell out "XPLOR".
Xplor lies a few kilometres south of Playa del Carmen in Quintana Roo, next to the Xcaret theme park, on the Riviera Maya. The site is built among cenotes and limestone caves, so the circuits run through and under the rock. Visitors should expect to get wet and to walk on uneven cave floors.
Park admission includes access to all activities, safety equipment, and trained guides, allowing visitors to explore zip line circuits, underground rivers, and jungle trails throughout their visit.
