El Castillo - 77765 Tulum

Buy the ticket at the shopping area,… it saves you time getting in!!!

beautiful place, very well preserved, excellent place to learn about ancient Mayan culture. totally recommend going early to avoid the long lines to buy tickets and the visitors. we visited in Jan 2021 and in spite of covid, the crowds coming in as we headed out were impressive.

We came to Tulum at the end of our trip. What a climax. The weather was great and the pyramids are with a great ocean view. The sand is whiter than white and it was a first class experience to take a swim at that beach probably the most beautiful one I have ever been to.

Very beautiful Mayan ruins . Would highly recommend!!! Take plenty of water !!

It was great! Super beautiful views right by the beach. I did sprain my ankle there ... So be careful where you step!

Very beautiful place. Highly recommend the walking trails up to the ocean. Beautiful views and the breeze is amazing. Lots of history. Lots of vendors. Do not buy guide. Just pay the $5 entry feee at the start of the park.

This time of year, access to the beach was closed, which would have been refreshing given the temperature. We had many fun encounters with the local iguana, which we all enjoyed seeing. My 2-year-old had a stand-off against one who decided to block her from passing. When entering the location, there are many offers of guided tours as well as a ride-along. At its size, I didn't see the benefit of the ride as it's a leisurely walkabout. Our 4-year-old had no problems navigating the terrain. And buying one of the books after you enter the grounds (100 pesos) gives you a map and a well-versed understanding of the Maya ruins you are about to see. In its entirety, it is not stroller friendly but will give you a great workout through some of its sandy spots and stair-only areas (as I found out). It is too bad you could not get closer to the ruins say as you can at Italica to feel present in that time. All-in-all it is an experience one should indulge in when nearby.

My wife booked a tour package ? from Expedia. The guide was very good and knowledgeable about the landmark even gave us a recipe for a green sauce. Also go early in the morning ? avoiding the heat and crowds
