BLOOMINGTON, Minn., /PRNewswire/ — Beginning last week guests at Mall of America began to experience the beauty and excitement of the Mexican Caribbean. Visitors can “Experience the Caribbean in Mexico” by immersing themselves in the rich culture as they are mesmerized by Xipe Totec, a dance group performing ancient Maya purification rituals. Indulge in authentic Mexican cuisine as Chef Federico Lopez, one of the 12 best chefs in Mexico, demonstrates how to bring the flavors of Mexico home.
At “Experience the Caribbean in Mexico”, guests will be transported into what feels, looks and sounds like the beautiful region of Mexico known as Quintana Roo from Oct. 3 to Oct. 12. Guests will learn about the great heritage of the region through musical performances, physical activities such as rock climbing or using a golf simulator. And the event is not complete without giving kids a chance to participate in the great Mexican tradition of breaking a pinata.
Families can also learn about turtle rescue efforts in Mexico and spend time with Dora and Diego in Nickelodeon Universe. For those enamored with Mexican cuisine, guests will have the opportunity to learn delicious Mexican recipes from Chef Lopez and Food Network’s Dave Lieberman.

The state of Quintana Roo is located in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula which stretches along the Caribbean Sea, and is home to four of Mexico’s most popular destinations: Cancun, the islands of Cozumel and Isla Mujeres, the Riviera Maya strip, and Grand Costa Maya.
