Xcaret Park is actually the ancient site of the city of Polè.  In Mayan, Polè actually means ´merchandise´ and was an important site for trading along the maritime routes.  Mayans from all over the land would meet here to trade their goods of jade and obsidian. The city was also seen as a religious site.  Along with trading, Mayans would come to purify their souls in the waters of the cenotes (underground rivers).  Cenotes are a unique land feature that can only be seen in Xcaret Park.   

Through this Xcaret tour you will see stunning examples of the Mayan ingenuity.  They built using the materials that were most abundant: limestone.   At Xcaret Park, even most of the new buildings are built with the same techniques of the Mayans.   Using limestone bricks and a type of mortar made from limestone dust and water that is very similar to cement and just as strong. These buildings and structures can still be seen and enjoyed today and are preserved and displayed all over Xcaret Park.
