With its archaeological ruins and sandy beaches next to turquoise waters, Tulum is coastline bliss. For the millions of visitors to the Mayan Riviera, it’s Mexico’s answer to the wintertime blues and a perfect day trip from Cancun.
Renting a car from Cancun is the ideal way to experience Tulum with flexibility and freedom, and to avoid the crowds during peak hours.
The Ruins
The ancient fortress where Mayan civilization flourished is intriguing.
The Beach
But if you’re not a history or architecture enthusiast, this seductive scene is sure to make your Tulum visit worthwhile: a dramatic cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea and, below, a cove with a white-sand beach where tourists can swim and sunbathe while mingling with locals.

Thanks, Frank. Enjoy Mexico!
You’ve definitely convinced me! I’m actually planning a trip there next Spring. Starting from Mexico, working my way south through Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador and finally ending up in Nicaragua. I’m super stoked about the entire trip; especially when it comes to visiting the unique & ancient Mayan Ruins!
Sounds like an amazing itinerary!
Great photos! A wonderful mix for those who love the outdoors and historical architecture.
Gracias, Brooke.
