Private car transfer
from Tulum to Costa Mujeres

For instance, you can enjoy a swimming and snorkeling detour to the stunning Gran Cenote, a half-underground cave system with pools of deep blue waters. The overhanging rocks and vegetation lend the area a mystical atmosphere that makes for an unforgettable visit.

Or, take a trip on the wild side at Jardin Botanico Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marin, an ecological park where you can see one of the last remaining troops of spider monkeys among tropical bird species and other fascinating native flora and fauna.

If you prefer to skip the sightseeing and take a direct journey, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with Daytrip’s swift and comfortable service. The private transfer saves you time and money along this route in comparison to public transportation.

The area has become popular among travelers thanks to its prime location, only 30 minutes away from the vibrant Cancun nightlife, but still secluded and serene. The area is also within reach of fantastic day trip destinations such as Isla Mujeres, known for its marine adventures and array of luxurious beach bars.

Cost Mujeres was an important sacred site for the Mayans, and its name is thought to refer to the Goddess Ixchel (Mujeres translates to women in Spanish.) The settlement of the Costa Mujeres region dates back to around the 7th century AD, with archeological evidence of the veneration of the goddess found over the centuries.

The goddess Ixchel was associated with fertility and women’s health, which may be why the area now possesses such a strong spa and wellness culture. Religious pilgrims would have carried out migrations to Costa Mujeres in search of blessings or spiritual guidance, whereas now the area is more of a luxury travel destination for relaxation and secular wellness.

The association of Ixchel with the moon and the sea was honored through decorations and local handicrafts in colors such as rich blues and creamy whites, which is still evident today alongside nautical and celestial elements.

Book activities and guides ahead

Costa Mujeres can get fairly busy during the peak travel season, and if you have your heart set on certain days or times for guided excursions, it is important to book them in advance to avoid disappointment. This is particularly true for high-demand activities such as whale shark swimming on Isla Mujeres.
