Tulum offers incredible day trip opportunities to ancient Mayan ruins and natural wonders. Chichen Itza, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, sits about 95 miles (153 km) away. Coba, featuring the tallest climbable pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula, is just 28 miles (45 km) from Tulum. Valladolid, a charming colonial town, provides authentic Mexican culture. Cenote Yokdzonot offers refreshing swimming in crystal-clear underground waters, and Ek Balam showcases remarkably preserved Mayan artwork.
Mexico uses the Mexican peso as its official currency. US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas like Tulum, though you'll get better value using pesos. ATMs are available throughout Tulum and the Riviera Maya region. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels and restaurants, but smaller establishments and local markets typically prefer cash.
Spanish is the official language of Mexico. In Tulum and other tourist areas along the Riviera Maya, many people speak English, especially in hotels, restaurants, and tour operations. Learning basic Spanish phrases enhances your travel experience and is appreciated by locals. Many signs and menus in Tulum are available in both Spanish and English.
The best time to visit Tulum is from November to April during the dry season when temperatures are comfortable and rainfall is minimal. December through March offers ideal beach weather, though this is peak season with higher prices. May through October brings higher humidity and occasional rain, but fewer crowds. Hurricane season runs from June through November.
Pack light, breathable clothing suitable for hot, humid weather and plenty of sunscreen with high SPF. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and swimwear for beaches and cenotes. Comfortable sandals and water shoes work well for exploring ruins and swimming in rocky cenotes. Insect repellent is essential, especially during the rainy season and when visiting jungle areas.
Tulum is famous for its stunning beachfront Mayan ruins perched on cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The town has become known for its bohemian atmosphere, eco-conscious resorts, and wellness retreats. Tulum offers proximity to numerous cenotes, underground freshwater pools perfect for swimming. The area features a vibrant dining scene with fresh seafood and international cuisine in beach-side restaurants.
Chichen Itza is approximately 95 miles (153 km) from Tulum, with the journey taking about 2 to 2.5 hours by car. This UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases the iconic Kukulkan Pyramid and ancient ball courts. Visiting early in the morning helps you beat the crowds and intense midday heat.
