About this tour

If you are staying in the Riviera Maya or in Tulum, this is the short route to the most photographed archaeological site on the Mexican Caribbean. Tulum is the only walled Mayan city built facing the sea: its temples look out from a cliff, with turquoise water and white sand below.

A bilingual cultural guide walks you through the site, and afterwards you get free time to explore at your own pace and take photos.

Then we head to an open cenote, where you have 50 minutes to swim in fresh water. Life jacket and locker included: all you need is a swimsuit and a towel.
