Welcome to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum!
You've just spent an hour on a hot, crowded bus, rolling over bumpy,
dusty roads, with little to see and even less to do.
"This better be worth it," you mutter to yourself as you catch the
tram from the parking lot to the site itself. It's hot, you can't see your
tour guide, and you have sunscreen in your eyes. Then you hand in your
ticket and walk through the portal in the stone wall, and raise your head
to see...
The view from the west entrance
The sight is breathtaking, but the tour guides have this all planned. You will find yourself awed by each new sight, only to be all the more surprised at the next...
I would recommend taking the tour the guides have planned for you, but you're free to wander if you choose.
This is a wonderful day trip, especially when combined with either Coba or XelHa. The ocean view from this ancient Mayan seaport is spectacular.
Tulum/Coba Day trip special tour is only 59.99 per person plus tax. Price includes transportation, lunch park entry fees, local guides and more.
Tulum/XelHa Day trip special is only 87.99 plus tax per person and includes snorkeling at the world famous natural aquarium, XelHa.
