About this audio guide
This guide to Xcaret Park near Playa del Carmen starts with its founder, architect Miguel Quintana Pali, and the unusual way he paid for a strip of rocky shore in the nineteen eighties. It then reaches back to the Maya port that stood here centuries earlier, to the canoe paddlers and coastal traders who worked it, and to the goods that crossed this beach. Best heard beside the ruins near the water.
