Tulum Archeological Site

The view of the Caribbean Sea is awesome here from the cliff. I wouldn't pay for the guides as there are interpretive signs. Also, I would take public transportation to get there as it saves money.

If you don't know much about this place, do a walking tour with a local guide. It costed about 780 pesos for 2 and it was well worth it. It included the entrance fee and fast-track entry.

Get there early. There is little to no shade and it can get very hot. The buses from Cancun and the cruise ships arrive around 10 or 11 and it begins to get crowded so getting their early is best!

Don’t bother buying souvenirs from the shops near the entrance. The items are similar to other places, only here they jack up the prices.

Awesome ruins overlooking the sea. Absolutely beautiful. Don't wait in line , there's an info booth by the tram stop that sells tickets so you can go straight in. Signs have English translations.

Breathtaking site to witness and learn about Mayan history, culture, and architecture . You will see the most beautiful sight of the ocean from here

As of December 2022, the crowds are insane. Also they no longer let you take the steps to the beach . Tulum has changed so much in the last 10 years.

worth the trip to see ruins in a setting like this. grab some bikes and head down the main road from town . make sure to get there as close to when it opens at 8 or don't go, the crowds get nuts at 9

To avoid the group come early with water, swimsuit , sunblock and enjoy the view . Most of the buildings have explanation on them but it is very superficial. After the visit go to playa pescadores

You neeed to go here. The ruins are amazing, the beach is stunning, and the cenotes are unlike anything else. If you’re lucky like me, you might get engaged on the cliffs :)

You can go directly from the ruins to a nice beach . It is pretty crowded though. There are a lot of iguanas . You can take a really close picture as they are not scared of people

DON'T buy the ticket for the snorkeling in playa paraíso (paradise beach ) in here, they are only the middleman and take a great commission, instead go to the beach and buy the tour right in the boat.

This place is a paradise for Mayan culture lovers. ???? It has beautiful beaches and well-preserved ruins of an ancient Mayan port city .

The ruins are awesome, there is a beach where you can swim , also you can see iguanas, coatis and a lot of birds.

Stunning place with ruins right by the sea. Bring your swimsuit to swim like a Mayan looking at the temple . Also, there are many leguans who think you cannot see them. Let them believe that.

Well worth a wander but when people say "get there early" they mean EARLY. By 10am the place was packed with tour busses . Really took away from the enjoyment. It's small too.

A must see when on the Yucatan.... great temples and get a sense how the Mayan lived. Bring a swimsuit to swim down on Paradise Beach

It is amazing! Just make sure you arrive very early in the day, otherwise you will have to wait in a loooong line to get in (and very likely in a very hot sun)

Site has finally reopened, but the stairway down to the beach is closed off due to coronavirus concerns. ⛔️

Stunning place. Pro tip: pay for a private tour , and go right when it opens to avoid the heat and crowds.

Definitely get a tour guide! Only a few bucks more than the ticket price, and we learned a lot with Esmeralda.

Bring water. It gets surprisingly hot for a place this close to the ocean. Also be prepared to wait a while for the damn iguanas to move so you can videotape them being interesting...

Get there at 8 am to avoid the crowd…its magic when there isn't so many people around… You will see lots of Iguanas :) 57 pesos la entrada (like all Mexico's Zonas arqueológicas managed by INHA)

The beach below is picture perfect. The water is amazing. The ruins are meticulously preserved. The setting is fantastical. ¡Bravo, Mexico, bravo! Exceptionally well done!

Get to the ruins first thing in the morning (before 8 am), to beat the onslaught of tourists . Then have breakfast at Zamas!

Bring your swimsuit and a towel because after exploring the ruins you can head down the stairs to a beautiful beach .

Great place to visit, don't pay attention to anyone but the official information booth . Everyone tyres to sell you something. Just go straight and pay 20 pesos and the bus will take you there.

Go by bike ! You can ride to the front of the entrance and skip all the souvenir shops etc (long walk from parking lot ). In the middle of March afternoon almost no people. Not waiting times at all. 85$

Arrive as close to 8am open as you can, before the tour busses arrive. Also bring a swimsuit , you'll want a dip to cool off.

Open from 8 am to 5 pm daily, parking us$2.50 entrance us$4.25.Tulum is one of Mexico’s most scenic archaeological sites, built atop a 40-foot cliff rising abruptly from turquoise Caribbean waters.

Take in the carefully restored relics of a civilization that thrived in the 13th–15th centuries. The reconstructed temples are jaw-dropping—even from the distance imposed by the ropes that guard them.

Did you know you could swim here!?!

Entrance fee costs ~ $4 USD per person. Do a walking tour for about $400 pesos or $25 USD ( includes entrance fee + fast-track + shuttle). Walking tours do not accept cards . Pay in pesos to save.

make sure to find your way down the cliff to the beach ; you'll need a jump in the water after a hot walk around the ruins

Beautiful place, historical and archaeological. The life with maia civilization! Unbelievable!!! ****

Such an amazing place! Be sure to check out the beach and careful with all the animals :)

We had guides from Mayan Adventures show us around. Fantastic day here.

Take a train to the entrance of the ruins. You can also shop,eat and drink after the parking lots before you get to the train

Amazing place. You can walk 10 mins from the entrance and avoid the train

A little known area of Mayan ruins that should be visited by all archeology fanatics & the like!

57 pesos entrance. Drive in towards the hotel zone and bypass the main parking area and entrance if possible. The exit brings you close to this entrance!

Vey well maintained park . Great view of the ocean. The beach is not as good as in front of the Tulum hotels .

A must see. Interesting, you breathe the feeling of living in that era

The history of this place is amazing... The view , the blue turquoise water BREATHTAKING ♡

Amazing history, nature and beach all together

Forget the hotel tours and waterpark nonsense, take an ADO bus here (US$20 round trip from Cancun) and pay general admission (US$5,7). Must see.

Great tour in Tulum to see the Mayan ruins , great location for pictures

Parking is a major rip off here. 10 usd to park for a few hours. You can find free parking around the area and just walk a short distance.

Get there as early as possible and head straight through the ruins to the beach . Amazing before it gets crowded .

Nice view , well protected historical area ❤️
