The lagoon and inlet that gave the place its name is now a water park, by the name of Xel-Ha Park. The ancient Maya used the location to build a port-city across from the lagoon, structures of which still stand centuries later. It derives from the Yukatek Maya, combining the words Xel – spring, and Ha – water. Though we are not heading for it, I think about the name. Soon after my husband starts driving, I notice signs for Xel-Ha, the water park. As much as I miss it being so narrow that two cars would barely fit through it, the ease of travel is a benefit I enjoy. The old road, once surrounded by jungle, is a highway now. I have been visiting the peninsula for over two decades, and I see changes every time I come. Across from the giant water park, the real Xel-Ha is a stunning Mayan ruin you can visit. Leaving the Cancun airport in our rented car, I marvel at the changes I see. photo by Jeff Fromm Lesser-Known Ruins on the Riviera Maya – Xel-Ha Travel Books Travel Book Excerpts on GoNOMAD Travel.Explore all aspects of lodging in this section.
