ITINERARY OF THE EXCURSION TO TULUM

Why do we think you might like this new tour so much? Is it because we visited the ruins of Tulum, the ruins of Coba and swam with turtles in the wild in Akumal Bay in one morning? Is it because the trips are short and we can make the most of the 3 sites to be visited? For this and much more we invite you to get to know and enjoy this excursion to the fullest on your next visit to the Riviera Maya.

Tulum Mayan Ruins Excursion

In our new excursion we will start visiting the ruins of Tulum early in order to arrive just at the opening time of the archaeological zone of the Riviera Maya and thus have the great advantage of enjoying the beautiful ruins of Tulum without crowds as we will be the first to arrive at this Mayan city. We will visit the ruins with our certified archaeological guide who will give us complete information about the first Mayan city discovered by the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, and the only walled city built on the shores of the Caribbean Sea; you will undoubtedly be impressed by the beauty of the ruins of Tulum, whose gray stone constructions stand like lookouts over the turquoise Caribbean waters.

Coba Mayan Ruins Excursion

Once we have finished visiting the Tulum Ruins we will go to Coba, the ruins located further inland and with its 42 meters high is the tallest pyramid of the Yucatan Peninsula (Nohoch Mul). Currently, and since the pandemic, climbing to the top is not allowed. Nevertheless, it is spectacular to see the magnitude of this Mayan construction. The chronology of Coba spans from 100 B.C. to 1450 A.D. We can go to the main pyramid walking along the paths surrounded by jungle, rent bikes or be taken on the famous Mayan tricycles. After the explanations of the ball game, stelae, pyramid and history of Coba by our certified guide it will be time for lunch in a delicious restaurant next to the lake near the ruins.

Akumal Turtle Snorkeling Excursion

After a delicious lunch we will head to Akumal Bay. Very few companies are the ones that have permits to swim with turtles in Akumal Bay, besides we will have a guide swimming with us for every 6 people to enjoy an excellent experience. Unlike other companies that swim in the limited snorkel circuits where in many occasions they do not see turtles, with Exotik Mayan Tours we will reach the turtle area by boat making the experience much more comfortable (1 minute by boat), we will be privileged! We will also swim in the coral reef and we will be able to see manta rays and beautiful tropical fish. We will provide you with all the necessary equipment (vest, goggles and disposable snorkel) to make it an unforgettable day! We also have showers, lockers and changing rooms for your comfort. If for whatever reason someone in the group does not want to swim, they can wait on the beautiful beach of Akumal Bay full of coconut trees or in one of its restaurants on the seashore and we will deduct 20 euros from the price of the excursion.

    Our excursion agency is known for leaving very early in the morning to be the first to arrive at the archaeological sites.
    Early in the morning there are hardly any people and it is much less hot, so arriving early you will certainly be able to take the best pictures of the day. You will notice that when we leave the ruins a lot of people start to enter.

    In Spain the exchange rate from euro to Mexican peso is usually very low, both in banks and at the airport exchange houses. The best place to find it is in Playa del Carmen on Quinta Avenida. In the hotels you will also be able to change money and the exchange rate will be a little lower than in Playa del Carmen. If you are planning to go to Playa del Carmen you can take advantage of it. If you are not going to change much, it is not really worth going specifically to change, you can do it at the hotel.

    The Riviera Maya is Mexico’s tourist destination par excellence and a major destination for tourists from all over the world, which is why maintaining tourist safety in this state is fundamental for the government.

    Our advice is that you can move around the Riviera Maya with total tranquility, always taking the same precautions as in any other place (go through the tourist areas and do not go into the suburbs, at night go accompanied…). It is a place to enjoy it to the maximum with total tranquility!

    It depends on where you use it. If it is in the hotel or in prestigious establishments, there should not be any inconvenience. It is true that there is a lot of card cloning fraud in small establishments in Playa del Carmen.
