Where the Jungle Meets the Sea
This is day two of our epic, all out, Indiana Jones vs. Tomb Raider, 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 Xel-Ha for a special snorkeling excursion. We are staying with Occidental Xcaret next to Xcaret Park. Here you will find travel tips and highlights of our personal experience.

Day 3 Riviera Maya
There I stood at the edge of a 16 foot cliff next to my son. The water below us a crystal blue. I watched as he observed the two jumpers before us, his eyes wide, his confidence growing. He wasted no time before hurling himself into the air and before I knew it, he was met by a massive splash. My heart pounding, I went in right after. We had just cliff jumped in Mexico at Xel-Ha and it was awesome.

A Little History Nibble on Xel-Ha
Xel-Ha is a magical paradise with unparalleled beauty in the Riviera Maya of Mexico. A living, all natural aquarium in the earth complete with wildlife and tropical fish. Steeped in Mayan Mythology, Xel-Ha actually means, “where the water is born”. During pre-hispanic times, the location once served as a port where sailors would find shelter and trade between ancient mayans was conducted.
