Xcaret eco-park
Chantelle Tucker visited the Xcaret eco-park last weekend.
You can browse her voluminous set of photographs on Flickr, or view them as a slideshow.
Wilma stripped much of the jungle of vegetation, but the park re-opened on December 12th and new growth has brought Xcaret back to life.
Things to see and do include: Jaguar island, the chapel of San Francisco of Assisi, where mass is celebrated overlooking the Caribbean Sea every Sunday at 4:30pm, the birdmen of Papantla, Los Voladores de Papantla, dolphin swim, night performances…

Gary - Xcaret itself is a safe bet, and more importantly, well-managed. You might want to check out this website.

Ron - personally, I agree. I do recall the furore over the Parque Nizuc dolphins in 2003…
