“Where magic is celebrated” is the motto with which the Xetulul amusement park commemorates its 24 years of foundation in 2026, during which it has provided fun to children and adults.
The Great Xetulul Amusement Park offers a wide variety of activities, impressive attractions and electromechanical games for visitors of all ages.
With capacity for 12,500 visitors, this space integrates nine plazas, according to the Irtra website, which recreate architectural scenarios inspired by the origin and history of Guatemala, as well as European countries that have influenced Guatemalan culture.
From Plaza Chapina to Plaza Pueblo Fantasía will be the settings for the celebration that Irtra has prepared for this 24th anniversary. The activities will take place from June 25 to July 19 with shows, surprises and special moments for visitors.
There will be special hours and uninterrupted attention in the Xetulul, Xocomil and Xejuyup parks from June 25 to July 5. In addition, artists such as Viernes Verde, Viento en Contra, Hancer and Sonora by May Velásquez will perform.
The program also includes marimba performances, anniversary cake, allegorical parades and pyrotechnics shows.
