About this audio guide
This audio guide to Xel-Há, the inlet park on the Riviera Maya south of Playa del Carmen, follows the money behind the water you are floating in. It starts in November nineteen ninety-four, with the young company behind Xcaret, a state congress and an architect named Miguel Quintana Pali. Along the way it reaches back to Maya traders and a Spanish conquistador who wanted this cove too. Best heard at the edge of the inlet, where you can hear the water on the rocks.
