See, we had a day trip set up to check out this adventure place called Xplor on Thursday. We were leaving the resort at 8:15am. I woke up around 7am and knew right away I was going to pay for my "friendship" with tequila the day before. There was no backing out of the trip though, so we got our gear together, ate some breakfast and hopped on the bus to Xplore.
It took everything in my power to not lose my breakfast on the ride there. Our driver was a bit aggressive so the breaking, accelerating, and changing lanes was not helping my cause. Luckily we got there with my breakfast intact. I didn't start to feel normal again until about 2pm. Needless to say, do NOT go to Xplor hungover.
OK, enough complaining. Xplor was fantastic! The 145-acre park is set in between the ocean and a highway. We got to go on zip lines over the jungle, drive an ATV, paddle a raft through caves full of stalactites and stalagmites and swim in a beautiful crystal clear river with two waterfalls. So pretty much we were arriba y abajo y al centro of the jungle. How fitting.
We got there early enough - around 9am - that we only waited for about 20 minutes for the first zipline and maybe 5 minutes for each of the next 13 zip lines. People getting in line around 11am probably waited an hour or more for their first zip line ride. There was no wait for the ATVs, rafts, swim or even lunch, which was a buffet. For an 8-hour day of adventure plus all food and drinks included and private transportation to and from the resort to Xplore, we paid $130 each. Was it worth it? Si! Should you go. Claro! Not convinced? Just look at the pictures!
