Xcalak: A hidden haven beyond the Riviera Maya.

Cancun and the Riviera Maya are absolutely gorgeous and have incredible beaches, but beyond these locations are more little havens hidden inside the Mayan jungle, just waiting to be found by intrepid travelers, and Xcalak is one of these paradise locations.

Located at the southern end of Quintana Roo, in the area called Costa Maya, Xcalak is a small village with no more than 400 inhabitants and beautiful white sand beaches with crystal clear waters. The natural environment of this town is a natural protected area, which allows the regional nature to bloom beautifully.

This village is close to Banco Chinchorro (an atoll) and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, making it a "must visit" to all eco tourism aficionados since they can snorkel or dive and contemplate the breathtaking views of these coral creations.

You can also try other activities like fly fishing (catch and release) or ride a boat through the mangle canals that extend all over the area.

Here’s a little video with a taste of all the wonders you can find while visiting Xcalak. And, if you want to visit this hidden haven, we recommend you book your transportation with Entertainment Plus. Contact them at reservations@entertainment-plus.net or through our website.
