Xenses... where nothing is what it seems

Located in Playa del Carmen, next to Xcaret (this park is part of Grupo Xcaret too) at km 282 of the Chetumal - Puerto Juárez Federal Highway in the Riviera Maya. It is located 1 hour from Cancun and 5 minutes from Playa del Carmen downtown. You can get here on your own as they have free parking or add transportation to your tour.

Set free your sensations at an incredible half day park that takes you through two paths of unique activities in more than 50 fantastic scenarios. Hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste and many others senses are put to the test.

As stated it has two different paths (you can take both in half a day)

The first path is the Path of Doing, which includes:

The Heartbeat; In an open white space, watch, listen and feel the beat of a big heart.

Town; Walk the street of an authentic Mexican town, where your balance is tested. From the first step to the last, you won’t know if you are climbing down or descending up.

The Breather; Take a break in the hammocks, gaze at the surrounding nature, and receive the sunlight to boost up your energy and continue having fun.

Slip; An exciting full speed descent into an unexpected and refreshing finale.

Bird flight; Open your arms and fly on a zip-line that lets you glide through the sky like a bird.

Riverlaxing; In a placid salt river where it’s impossible to sink, let go in the warm stream to free your body and mind.

Sludgerie; Renew your skin with a mud completely organic and beneficial for your body with which you’ll be completely covered from head to toe. At the end you can rinse under powerful streams of water and feel the effects of your renovated skin.

The second is the Path of Feeling which includes:

Xensatorium; Discover, in pitch black darkness, different ecosystems perfectly represented by the flora and the sound of fauna of each one.

Labyrinth of Underground Arteries; Get to know the inside of the Earth through caves and caverns.

The Eden; Gaze at an earthly paradise among a waterfall, a small lake, fish, macaws and flamingos.

Citric Garden; Delight your sense of taste with a delicious lemonade poured directly from a tree.

Way of Dwarfs and Giants; A stone path with windows, doors and streetlights that will make you appreciate the perspective of being really small or really big.

This park is absolutely amazing, it is fun, it is educational, it has everything (we have done it twice in less than a year) our favorite was the Xensatorium and the Sludgerie, but we loved the whole experience... and the best part is only half a day, so you still have some time to relax by the pool or go shopping, or whatever you feel like doing.
