A Tulum tour in the Riviera Maya is a popular choice for visitors who want to explore the ancient Mayan ruins while enjoying the beautiful beaches and natural wonders of the area. Tulum is located on the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, and it’s known for its well-preserved archaeological site perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Here’s a suggested itinerary for a Tulum tour in the Riviera Maya:

Start the day early to beat the crowds and make the most of your time. Tulum is about a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from popular tourist destinations like Cancun and Playa del Carmen.

Explore the Tulum Archaeological Site: Once you arrive in Tulum, head to the archaeological site. The entrance fee allows you to explore the ruins, including El Castillo (the iconic castle), the Temple of the Frescoes, and the Temple of the Descending God. Take your time to walk around, learn about the history of the Mayan civilization, and enjoy the breathtaking views of the turquoise waters below.

Visit the Tulum Beach: After exploring the ruins, head to the nearby Tulum Beach, which is known for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. Relax on the beach, take a swim, or simply soak up the sun. There are also various beach clubs and restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a refreshing drink.

Explore the Cenotes: The Riviera Maya is famous for its cenotes, natural sinkholes filled with freshwater. Take some time to visit one or two cenotes near Tulum, such as Gran Cenote, Dos Ojos, or Cenote Calavera. You can swim, snorkel, or even go diving in these unique natural formations.

Visit the Tulum Pueblo: Tulum Pueblo is the town located outside the archaeological site. It offers a more local and authentic experience compared to the beach area. Take a stroll through the town’s streets, visit the local shops, and try some delicious Mexican cuisine at one of the restaurants.

Optional: If time allows, you can also consider visiting other nearby attractions, such as the Tulum Ruins Bike Trail, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve (a UNESCO World Heritage site), or the Xel-Ha eco-park for water activities and snorkeling.

Remember to bring sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, and plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the day. It’s also a good idea to hire a knowledgeable guide or join a guided tour to learn more about the history and significance of the Tulum ruins.

Enjoy your Tulum tour in the Riviera Maya!

Why I became a Travel Agent?

  When I started advertising tours and cruises, some of my FB friends started to wonder: “Why did you become a Travel Agent?”. And I decided to answer it in my blog. The answer is very simple – because I was very fond of mathematics at school, and participated in the math competitions and I can count. “What’s the math here?” they asked. Make yourself some coffee, sit at your computer screens and watch my calculations, and you will understand everything. I have been living in America for 31 years. Approximately 25 years of them I was vacationing in the Caribbean, or other places (Europe Cruises, Canada, Mexico). And I usually went twice a year. And so, we do the math: On average, 1 trip for my wife and me costs about $3,500 x 2 times a year x 25 years will be approximately = $175,000. Considering that as a base number, further I traveled with friends + 2-3 couples and we booked tickets together, then this would be (let’s take only +1 couple) $175K x 2 = $350K. Imagine, if I had made the
