The Tulum Archaeological Site is a must-visit attraction located on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Learn about the history of the Mayan civilization and marvel at the well-preserved ruins. Don't forget to take a picture at the iconic El Castillo pyramid.
Cenotes are natural swimming holes unique to the Yucatan Peninsula. Dos Ojos, one of the most famous cenotes, consists of two interconnected sinkholes filled with crystal clear water. Snorkel, swim or scuba dive in this stunning natural wonder.
Tulum Beach, also known as Playa Paraiso, is a gorgeous stretch of white sand and turquoise waters. Relax, soak up the sun, and take a dip in the crystal clear waters. For a more active day, rent a stand-up paddleboard or kayak and explore the coastline.
Taxis and rental cars are available. Taxis average $5-$10 per ride, while a rental car is $40-$50 a day. Biking is another option for those who want to explore Tulum's surroundings.
For those with more time, consider adding a visit to the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve or a day trip to the nearby town of Akumal to swim with turtles. If time is limited, skip Dos Ojos and head straight to Tulum Beach.
The nearest airport is Cancun International Airport (CUN), located 75 miles from Tulum.
