XEL-HA NATURAL WATERPARK
Xel-Há is the Eden of the ancient Mayan deities, destined to be a heaven on Earth from the moment it was conceived. The gods combined all that was best of themselves…their dreams and wisdom, that which was most perfect and pure, and brought it into existence inthe place where the waters are born. After delegating guardianship of the heavens, seas, and land to three animal-deities, this pristine natural jewel was presented to mankind. Huh, the iguana is the guardian of the land, Mo the macaw is the guardian of the sky, and Kay-Op, the parrotfish, is the guardian of the waters. Up until today, Xel-Há continues to obey the wishes of the gods –that this paradise be shared in all its dazzling natural beauty, its pure, cristaline waters, its luscious rainforest, the rich beating of its heart of Life. The Xel-Há Inlet is an aquarium free of walls and glass panes, without man-made lights or feeding mechanisms, which every visitor should be allowed to explore with equal freedom. And so Xel-Há has been designed to accommodate everyone, from first time swimmers to expert snorkelers. With over 70 species that have chosen this earthly paradise as their ideal habitat, plunging into the dizzying myriad of colorful fish is the experience of a lifetime. All dreams of meeting fascinating creatures in the flesh –dolphins, stingrays, turtles, all in their genuine niche –are about to come true at our Natural Aquarium.
Of the 200 acres of nature that make up Xel-Há, almost 150 of these are lush tropical forest. The rich vegetation (over 220 recorded species of plants, many in constant cultivation at the Plant Nursery as part of Xel-Há’s reforestation program) holds as marvelous an abundance of life as the waters do below. Through the fragrant trails on foot, bicycles, or motor vehicles, one will discover amazing biological luxury, scenery stunning to all the senses, mammals, reptiles, birds, and plenty of places to stop along the way and surrender to the beauty of Nature. Entering Xel-Há is an invitation to live life at its very fullest. Adventure is unsurpassable here; the color of everyday existence will pale at the comparison. Nature thrills the senses with sensations, rushes, and awe –this is the place to dive deeper, to jump higher, to run faster…to breathe freely at last. Whether feeling the wind on one’s face on the Floating Bridge, painstakingly balancing the length of Trepachanga, or crashing into the waters below from the Cliff of Courage, Xel-Há will leave the nerves tingling and the soul aching for more.
At last…the dreams of stepping through the aquarium glass, of drifting into an astonishing world of underwater magic are about to come true. Xel-Ha is nature as no one has ever felt it before, a place to share in celebrating the biological parade of the Riviera Maya. Our Natural Wonder and its open-sea aquarium offer a myriad of land and water activities, ecological attractions, world-class restaurants, and countless more unimaginable experiences. Dazzle your senses. Feel the thrills of adventure and caresses of paradise. Xel-Ha…the Natural Wonder awaits.
