Tulum Itinerary

If there is one piece I took away from Tulum is it brought out the strength in me. It tore me down, literally burned me alive and by the end of the trip I became a little more rsilient!

Don't fall for overpriced tours that don't offer much value.
Most of the large resorts have on-site events and experiences and you don't have to stay on the property. if you prefer a more intimate experience.

Travel and Transportation

A lot of people told us to use the buses when going to and from locations. We saw a lot of tourists walks miles to make it to the bus, just to be sitting in the middle of city. I think the nightlight in Tulum is prominently safe, but we wanted to avoid sitting at bus stops for extended periods of time. Tulum is so much bigger than people think. Car rentals are easy and inexpensive. If you do rent a car, just be super careful about where you park.

General Things to Know About Tulum
