Cancun Day 2 – Swimming with dolphins

Around 8 o’clock in the morning, Dave and I were picked up at our hotel by a minivan and we were on our way to the aquatic park Xel-Ha, which is located 110 km/68 mi south of Cancun. Xel-Ha is a natural park with an area of 86 hectares/212 acres, which is composed of a group of inlets, lagoons, cenotes and caves. This ecological park is the largest natural aquarium in the world and is an absolutely breathtaking place! We were told that according to the old Mayan legends, Mayan gods driven by their wisdom and love for ”amazing things”, created a place where the most beautiful natural attractions in the Caribbean are all gathered in one place.

Here is the entrance to the dolphin area.
