Xploradores
Monday, April 6, 2015
Today we spent the day at Xplor (another Ecopark here in Mexico). It was like a Disneyland but the rides were ziplines, amphibious vehicles, floating through an underground river and swimming through an underground river. We barely stopped for lunch we were having so much fun!
They have 2 zip line courses, 2 ATV (mini jeep amphibious vehicles) tracks where you drive through the jungle and into the underground river and cross above ground rivers, 2 rafting courses through an underground river with stalactites and stalagmites, a river swim and hammock ziplines into water. We got there before it opened so we would be able to do everything. We had to wear helmets the entire time and inside the helmet is a chip so they take your pictures everywhere and assign it to your helmet number and sell you the pictures at the end.
The entire park is all-inclusive and you can get snacks and drinks and eat at the lunch buffet. I loved that everything was pretty healthy. They had a fruit shack and a smoothie oasis where they made you fresh fruit juices and all-natural smoothies. They don't serve any alcohol in the entire park because they want to make sure people are fully-functioning for all of the activities.

Kira and Calvin on the ziplines. Calvin was the GoPro man. He has taken all of our GoPro footage on this trip.
Kate and Isaac were buddies today and did all of the ziplines together. It made for such an easy day!

Driving through the underground river.
No hands!
I had the best time driving the 2nd route. We got to be first in the group behind the pacer. After a few minutes, even he pulled over and waved us on so we got to go as fast as we wanted. I had it floored almost the entire time. Kate and Mikey were freaking out and I was laughing so hard!
In the caves.
The underground river swim.
The underground rafting.
The hammock ziplines. You zip down into the water going pretty fast. This one you could do as many times as you wanted. And you zipped down, climbed up to the other side and zipped back. I think the kids did this probably 20 times.

Here's Mikey after ziplining alone into the waterfall cave. I loved watching little Mikey walking around with his harness and gear on. He looks like a miniature man.
Waiting for the ATVs.
The open-air restaurant buffet had a really cool atmosphere.
Before their scary ride with Mom the crazy driver. So innocent and happy. They (mostly Kate) were screaming "MOM! Please slow down! Mom, seriously PLEASE! Mom STOP! I am going to be traumatized!" It was hilarious.

Family photo in the river swim.
It almost felt like you were swimming through Pirates of the Caribbean.
