When to go

The drier winter and spring months are popular for beaches and excursions. During the warmer season, humidity is higher and the tropical storm season should be taken into account.

Things to see and do

Visit Tulum's archaeological zone, relax on Caribbean beaches, swim in cenotes and explore natural areas and other places along the Riviera Maya.

Practical tips

Use sun protection and carry plenty of water. At cenotes and in nature reserves, follow the local environmental rules.

Getting there and getting around

The region is served by Tulum International Airport. Buses, road connections and Tren Maya stations are also available.

Where to stay

The Hotel Zone suits beach holidays, the town centre offers restaurants and a more urban setting, and the region has boutique hotels and glamping options.

What to try

Try cochinita pibil, tacos, ceviche, Yucatán dishes, fresh fish and contemporary Mexican cuisine.
