Tulum Archaeological Zone - 77780 Tulum

Such a beautiful place! I recommend buying guided tour tickets in advance. Well worth it to skip the line and have a knowledgeable guide. Our tour guide was well versed in Mayan history and doubled as a group photographer. I booked through Cancun Adventures to get transportation from my hotel.

It was an interesting Mayan coastal site. The tour guide was a knowledgeable about the story of his people. He gave insights on how they lived , traded, grew crops & defended from warring neighbors. The ruins were amazing & to realize the construction was thousands of years ago gives a new understanding on that long ago culture

Many temples and Great arrangement of the place. Small roadways that drive you around the ruins. Perfect spots for photos. When you turn for the ruins don't be fooled by the many people offer you parking. The official parking is at the end of the road for 100 pesos for all day. Ticket admission is 85 pesos per adult. After the ruins you can head down the road for the beach!

The place is spectacular... First there's a 500m walk before entrance you can choose to take the "train" (a bus jungle styled) for 25 pesos round way. Even arriving early in the morning there's a lot of people but it doesn't take much time to get in. Theres a temperature check before tickets, then tickets which is not too crowded since most people have it in advance, and then the ticket check and you're in. You should take the tour following you're left side all the time, since this one will take you up to the breathtaking ocean views and you'll get to explore the whole place. It says is stroller friendly, it is not. You can so a smaller tour if in wheelchair or with a stroller without getting up up near the ruins. Outside you can find souvenir shops, restaurants and shops, shops, shops. Also people with costumes and some art to take pictures with. A must visit when in Tulum !

Tulum was beautiful. We visited as part of a tour and we think that is the best way to go if you want to learn more about the history. It is a popular attraction. I recommend going as early as you can to avoid crowds. Also note that it’s very hot and a bit of a walk. So wear a hat and comfortable walking shoes - I did neither and that is my only regret.

This was a neat place to visit - but bring your sunblock (put it on before you leave you resort!) because it is hot and sunny, and there is zero shade. We went with a tour but didn't get tons of information from our guide (booked with a separate company, guide wasn't employed by Tulum) but I would have maybe liked more signage information at each building. There is a really nice lookout over the sea, but the steps down to the beach were closed when we visited in early May.

Tulum was wonderful. Our tour guide Moses was especially informative about the various Mayan rituals and culture. He made it very interesting. Go earlier in the day- got a bit crowded around 11 am. It can be done within 2 hours. There are stairs and wheelchair ramps for most of it. Vendors are hustling when you arrive but not too pushy. Simple no thank you and kept walking did the trick. No vendors after you pass through the actual ticketed entrance.

Very awesome! It's so breathtaking and beautiful to see. Just trying to imagine the history in this area overwhelming. I highly recommend everyone to visit and experience. I'd say average 1-2 hours to see all the ruins, ready some historical data, and just take in the beautiful scenery.
