In addition to this important celebration, the Land of Huh or Bicycles Station will be inaugurated. When this 850 m. long path was built, 5000 plants were rescued and are now conserved at Xel-Há’s Tree Nursery.

The idea to carry out this $1,100,000.00 pesos project was born in 2005, but it had not been able to conclude due to the past hurricane seasons. Today it is now a beautiful reality.

With ecological attractions such as Chacahs Garden and Land of Huh, Xel-Há Park grows in options for all visitors in search for a responsible contact with nature.
