Jaguars Island at Xcaret Mexico

Contemplate the imposing jaguar

Included in your admission

Discover the island of the big cats at Xcaret and admire the majesty of the jaguar paired with its habitat there. This fascinating species is naturally curious and likes to take long naps under rich shade.

This animal, considered sacred by the ancient native peoples due to its strength, speed, and beautiful fur, was revered as a supernatural entity called Balam; you have likely seen representations of this noble feline in paintings, sculptures, and ceramics of those times.

You can observe the two beautiful jaguars of Xcaret Mexico, in a natural habitat specially designed by experts to offer them shade, food, fresh water, resting areas, and environmental enrichment.

* Part of your admission fee is used for research and wildlife monitoring to contribute to its protection in the jungles of the Mexican Caribbean.
