As if lying in the sun on some of the world's most beautiful beaches wasn't reason enough to visit Mexico's Caribbean coast, there's also the huge variety of things to do and see. One of the most popular day-trips in the region is to the big, sprawling natural theme park: Xcaret.
The park itself isn't all that great and if you swim in the underground river be aware the water is extremely cold regardless of the surface air temperature, but the night show is outstanding, although whether it alone is worth the price of admission is questionable.
