This is day two of our ten-day adventure to the Riviera Maya and Isla Holbox on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico to explore Mayan culture, mythology, and eco-adventure. Today we are at the all-inclusive Occidental at Xcaret Park which is an eco-archeo-adventure park in the Riviera Maya. Here you will find travel tips and highlights of our personal experience.

Day 2 in the Riviera Maya

 

From my little dinner table at Occidental Xcaret, I could hardly tell we had just experienced a tropical storm. The colorful paper cutouts were waving gently in the breeze as I waited for my much-needed margarita. We had just spent the day exploring the resort’s lavish property, followed by a full day at Xcaret Park next door. We were tired, hungry, and ready for some much-needed sleep, but not before we enjoyed a Mexican meal (as part of our all-inclusive accommodations).
