What to expect

Step back in time during this full-day trip to the mysterious Maya ruins of Tulum. Uncover the secrets of this ancient civilization as you tour the archaeological site with a guide. Get free time to dig your toes into the sand of Tulum's picture-perfect beach, and take a refreshing dip in the scenic cenote Nohoch.

After you're picked up from your hotel, ride along jungle-fringed roads to Tulum, a walled Maya city perched on the coast above the crashing waves of the Caribbean. En route, your guide shares facts about the ancient Maya and the trade routes that crisscross the Yucatán.

Once you arrive, enter the archaeological site to explore the mysteries of this fascinating and well-preserved city. Listen to theories about Maya rituals, worship, and daily life as you walk around the site's clifftop Castillo.

From the site, you can look out over the coast and Tulum's famous stretch of long white sand. After your tour, get free time to take photos, walk along the beach, or take a dip in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean before exploring a mystical freshwater cenote.
