Xcaret is a Maya civilization archaeological site on the Caribbean coastline of the Yucatán Peninsula in Quintana Roo, Mexico [1]. The site was occupied by the pre-Columbian Maya and functioned as a port for navigation and an important Maya trading center [1]. Some original structures are now contained within the modern privately-owned Xcaret Park tourism development [1].
