If visiting Yucatan’s part of Mexico, from Cancun to Tulum, Chichen Itza is a must stop! This ancient city is filled with a thousand years of history and it is just amazing. Pro tip: get there early, right when they open (8am). You will avoid crowds (better photos and less people) and high temperatures (it gets super hot and humid). #wecreate #chichenitza #mytripvlog #summervacation #passionpassport #mexico #sevenwondersoftheworld

The next day, we met with the group at 7:00am and went to Tulum first. There was also a tour guide who led the tour in two groups according to language (Spanish and English respectively), which lasted about 20-30 minutes. After that, there was half an hour of free time, but it was enough for guidance and visits. Tulum is one of the last cities built and inhabited by Mayan civilization, and it is also one of the best-preserved coastal Mayan ruins. Looking at the Caribbean Sea along the ruins, the scenery is really beautiful, and the water is very blue and clear. Around 11 o'clock, we will go to Xeiha Water Park, which is a park suitable for parents and children. There are many paid items. When you arrive, you should have the first meal first, but don't eat too much, because you have to go into the water to play 🤣🤣The most fun thing here is the water slide, but it is also quite tiring to climb up. It is less scary than I thought because I don’t know how to swim, but when you get to the bottom, the water is also very shallow, and there will be two lifeguards. Children can also play, so don’t be afraid😅😂 In the end, I was tired from playing and had the second meal before leaving. This park is all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink, which is very suitable for us who love to drink😂😂😂 Towels are also provided. You only need to bring waterproof bags and water shoes. You can also bring go pro, but you have to put it down when playing some activities #Cancun #CancunTourism #Mexico #MexicoTravel[1 #Tulum #Maya #Cancun Group Tour #CancunX Park #Water Park #travel #cancun #tulum #cancunxeiha #mexico

Visiting the Mayan coast and not stop by a beach club for a drink or food will be a mistake for many. This one has no minimum consumption for visitors so it makes it very appealing for the ones who are in a budget or just don't want to spend too much money. Go with your partner or friends and surely you'll enjoy it Address Carretera Tulum Boca Paila Km 4.5, Tulum Beach, 77760 Tulum, Q.R. #valentinescape #resort #beachlife #tulum #mytripvlog #mexico #maya #beach #tripblazers #budget #budgettrip

One of the most amazing experiences in my life was climbing the pyramid at Coba in Mexico. Though there are quite a few Mayan pyramids left in Mexico, most of them cannot be climbed. But here in Coba you still can. Coba is easily accessible by bus from Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Tulum. The bus will drop you off right outside the archeological area. So there is no need to pay for an expensive day tour. Once you have paid the entrance fee, you will find yourself in middle of a giant forest. Dotted throughout the forest are all kinds of smaller ancient Mayan structures. The actual pyramid is a little far away, so instead of walking there yo#historicplaces can also rent a bicycle. Entrance fee: 80 mxn (4 usd) Opening times: Daily from 09:00 to 17:00 #historicplaces

Went there on a Wednesday. Lorenzo was our guide, he even spoke Mayan and gave us some lessons. The water is not as cold as I remembered from other Cenotes, It was certainly one of the best cenotes. it is very large and mainly covered. We had a great time it took almost an hour of great fun. Bring a good camera or those pockets to take nice pictures from your cellphone. No need to bring the entire snorkel we end up swimming an opening our eyes underwater and carrying all the time. #themepark#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

We booked the Sian Ka'an Reef Snorkel & Mayan Canal tour in July 2021. We saw one crocodile at a very large distance, a couple of manatees, some birds and a few common fish. We could not snorkel due to the water condition. This is not a complaint though, as we understand that Nature has its own schedule, which does not always suit our plans. On the bright side, we´ve been to a beautiful lagoon and a secluded beach, travelled through mangrove canals and floated down the Mayan canal. The place is incredibly beautiful and Aldo, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. The only thing that prevented this experience from being perfect was that, contrary to the ad, the boat did not have a canopy or any sort of shade. According to Aldo, it had been damaged or something like that, and he provided a piece of cloth to cover ourselves. Considering that the wind made it hard to keep the cloth on and that we spent over 5 hours under the midday sun without any sunscreen, as instructed, probably the decision to go on with the tour in a boat without any shade was not a good one. Still, my recommendation is that you do not miss this incredible tour, but make sure your boat has a canopy and you have some biodegradable sunscreen at hand. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

I booked this stand boarding cruise for my boyfriend and I after reading the online reviews - and it was much better than expected! Mauricio is a great teacher, patient and funny, and made sure we were all comfortable during the lessons (both of us had never done SUP before). The water was gorgeous and absolutely crystal clear the day we went, making for a snorkelling experience too. We will definitely do this again the next time we visit Tulum. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

#国外游 Located in an exhibition area of ​​the Azulik Hotel in Tulum, Mexico, it is called IK Lab. When you go in, you can see many special handmade decorations.

One of my fav pictures of 2019 taken at my fav place in Mexico, Tulum. So many good memories from those days w my best friend

Wow this is the view during my stay at Papaya Playa! Couldnt be anymore greatful to be in this paradise for the next week!

There are several luxury houses that are daring to enter the drug lords. Tulum Hotels Recommended Melbourum Tulum is a seaside town an hour's drive from Cancun, now the hot red resort. Originally for the Azulik hotel, I did not expect this temporary casa malca to surprise me. Casa Malca Tulum, once the home of the big drug lord Escobaba, was transformed into a luxury design hotel by Design Hotel a few years later. The contemporary art displayed in the store is from the famous New York collector Lio Malca. From the lobby, the restaurant to the room, the contemporary art is interesting and harmoniously displayed everywhere. For girls who like to take pictures, it is a paradise, a proper fashion ins. The beach in front of the hotel is also the best in Tulum, with fine white sand and azure Caribbean, all outside the hotel. Transportation: We are self-driving, directly navigate the address of the hotel, but there is no signboard at the hotel door. If you navigate to the question, it will be OK, so you can find it. Price: Our two girls will set the garden view room 2500, the hotel is not big, take the ten steps to the beach. The price of the sea view room is between 3800-6000. Tips: If you don't stay in the hotel, you have to go in and take pictures to take photos. Otherwise, you have to charge the photo separately. The hotel restaurant is very delicious. The average meal is about 400 per person. The taste is very good.

lovely day at the ruins enjoyed every second

Mexico was so much fun

Embracing the Caribbean Sea, Tulum is a unique travel destination where ancient Mayan civilization meets the azure sea.

#mytraveldiary Rising from the dense jungle of Cobá, Nohoch Mul is the tallest pyramid on the Yucatán Peninsula, standing at around 42 meters (138 feet). This ancient Mayan structure invites visitors to step into history, climb its steep steps, and take in sweeping views over the forest canopy. ⸻ Ambience & Setting Hidden within the archaeological site of Cobá, Nohoch Mul emerges dramatically from the surrounding jungle.

I finally got to visit the long-awaited cenote "Dos Ojos" 💙. With limited tour options and fewer visitors, this spot truly felt like a hidden gem. As I ventured through areas with low ceilings resembling a limestone cave, I suddenly found myself in a vast open space. To my surprise, it was filled with numerous bats 🦇! Exploring the cave-like tunnels with a flashlight in hand made me feel like an adventurer, and it was incredibly exciting. The contrast between the crystal-clear water and the mystical cave environment left a lasting impression. 💡 Recommended Highlights: • The reflection of light on the water's surface is truly magical and breathtaking. • Compared to other cenotes, there are fewer tours and visitors, allowing for a quieter experience. • The mystical open space that unfolds after passing through the limestone cave tunnels. • Experience nature in its purest form, with bats and rays of light streaming in. • A popular spot for snorkeling and diving. While Cancun's blue ocean is undoubtedly beautiful, the natural wonders of the cenote offer a unique and extraordinary experience. If you're looking for something special, this is a must-visit destination ✨.

The Tulum ruins stretch along the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Built as a port for the inland Mayan city of Cobá, the town developed as a trading hub. 🌊 Approximately 1,600 people lived here between the 13th and 15th centuries, and temples and palaces typical of Mayan cities were built there. ✨ Due to its location, the town is surrounded by high walls to prevent intrusions by pirates and other pirates. Three highlights are the Central Temple, the Temple of the Frescoes, and the Temple of the Descending God. Built on a cliff along the coast, the ruins offer a stunning backdrop of the deep blue Caribbean Sea. There's even a staircase leading directly down from the ruins to the beach, allowing you to swim in the beautiful ocean while overlooking the ruins. It's a luxurious getaway. 🌊✨ #Cancun #Tulum

During my trip to Tulum, Mexico, I visited a local taqueria called 'Taqueria La Chiapaneca' based on recommendations from locals 🥰. When I arrived in the evening, the place was already bustling with customers gathered in front of the store! The seating options include both indoor and outdoor tables. Indoors, you can enjoy live music performances, while the outdoor seating lets you soak in the authentic local atmosphere 😆. When you order tacos, they come with lime, onions, cilantro, and salsa sauce, allowing you to customize them to your taste. I recommend trying all the options—pork, beef, and chicken—to savor the variety 👏🏻. Adding guacamole will make your table even more delightful 🥰.

If you're traveling in Tulum, Mexico, and craving fresh seafood, I highly recommend the modern seafood restaurant La Negra Tomasa 😍 Especially at night, the combination of music and lighting creates a trendy atmosphere, and you might even catch performances by actors in traditional costumes. Their signature dishes include ceviche, which is seafood and vegetables marinated in lime juice, and aguachile, a traditional dish from northern Mexico that's similar to ceviche but spiced up with salsa sauce 😆 The first bite might feel unfamiliar, but the tangy acidity pairs perfectly with the fresh fish and shrimp, making it a flavor you'll crave more and more 👏🏻 Don't miss out on trying Mexico's traditional seafood dishes 😃 📍Andromeda Ote 14, Tulum Centro, 77760 Tulum
