A PERFECT DAY FOR:
ADVENTURE JUNKIES
Morning
Heart-pounding fun? You got it! Spend the day at Xplor, arguably
the Riviera Maya’s most adventurous theme park. The biggest
thrills are its two circuits of 14 zip lines; start here for an immediate
adrenaline rush. You’ll fly high over the jungle: One zip line is almost
150 feet above the ground. Channel your inner Indiana Jones as
you splash down into a cenote on one zip line and wobble across
swinging wooden bridges to reach others.
Afternoon
Don’t linger too long over the lunch buffet (included in admission).
An exciting ride in an amphibious ATV awaits. Navigate bumpy jun-
gle trails through giant mud puddles, over suspended bridges, and
down into caves. End your Xplor day rafting through underground
caves and swimming in stalactite-festooned cenotes.
Dinner
Time for adventure of a different kind now:
Joyà
, a magical dinner
show by the world-renowned performing group Cirque du Soleil.
Prepare to be wowed as you approach the specially designed theater
via a wooden walkway around a lagoon, continuing into an intimate
seating area that feels almost like a giant blue cenote. The cuisine
served during its three-course dining experience is infused with
no less creativity than the performance itself, and starts one hour
before the show. Sip Moët & Chandon; bite into your dragon-
breath appetizer and breathe out smoke; and delight in a quartet
of chocolate, tropical-fruit, and flower desserts housed in a faux
book. Each element is delicious, and artfully presented with the
utmost attention to detail.
Evening
Settle back in your seat —
Joyà
has begun. A contortionist flutters
down from above like a jellyfish. Trapeze artists swing on vines.
A juggler levitates fiery balls. Watch thrilling stunts and be
totally enchanted as you follow
the adventures of Joyà, a
teenage girl who takes a
trip through history.
