The 15 Shows in Mexico That Earn Their Price

1.Xcaret Park Entry Tickets with Cultural Night Show Included

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,382 reviews · 6 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $113Our pick

Xcaret entry in Cancun with cultural night show, swim underground rivers, explore jungle trails and animals, plus optional Plus lunch.

“The most beautiful park that I have ever visited. Absolutely amazing and better than Disneyland. Indoor one mile cave swim was incredible and many animals in natural jungle settings. Excellent buffet and good service wherever we went. Although the salesgirl tried hard to sell us the paid snorkel trip over the free one, we declined and had a great time with the free snorkeling. She said we would not see anything in the free snorkel area but we saw hundreds of fish. Ignore the salespeople at the entrance as they will try to sell you activities that you do not need and are a waste of time.”

2.Xcaret Park Day Trip, transportation and Cultural Night Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,899 reviews · 6 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $167

Xcaret park day trip from Cancun with hotel pickup, underground river swims, wildlife gardens, and the Mexico Espectacular night show.

“The park is very overrated and overpriced for what you get. A smaller park would cost half as much and give you a better experience. The food quality was very poor for the price. They try hard to sell you on their nearly 100 USD photo package, and dinner is 100 USD per adult and 70 USD per child, which felt unreasonable. This is after paying almost 100 USD per person just to enter the park, plus another 7 USD for water unless you bring your own. They have water dispensers around the park, but the water didn’t taste good. The evening show was good, but by then the kids…”

12.Show Mayahuel + Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 122 reviews · 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $59

Mayahuel at Teatro Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta, plus a tequila tasting. Cirque-style dance, elemental spectacle, and good value.

“It had all the elements - literally air, fire, water and earth. It had a good variety of action and dancing. But it would have been better if the commentary was throughout the performance to understand what was going on. Also, without the tequila tasting you are seated pretty far back from the stage. Fine for a cruise ship shore excursion but there are better options in Puerto Vallarta to see.”

“Sébastien H. is a great tour guide. The tour itself was very interesting and informative. This tour is one we will use on our future trip here. The stops were all great especially the chapel on the mountain top. Such a beautiful view from there. Sébastien was full of information about Acapulco's past and present. The cliff diving was a treat to see in person. The food at the Pink Flamingo was to write home about. All the stops had a great vibe of their own. The pickup time/location was accurate and on time. 11/13/24 was an exceptional day for us by choosing this tour. Thanks again Sébastien.”
