  • Since April 21, 2026, archaeological sites in Mexico have applied security procedures that restrict entry with backpacks, luggage, and similar items. We recommend bringing only the personal belongings that are truly necessary for the visit. Small items that fit in your pockets or in a compact personal bag are the most practical option. Some exceptions may be considered, such as nappy bags, but the final decision is made directly by the security staff at the entrance. We are not responsible for any belongings that are not allowed inside the site. For this tour, travellers may leave their items inside the transport vehicle while visiting the scheduled stops.
  • This experience includes a considerable amount of walking. Comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for moving around throughout the day are recommended.
  • The included lunch is served as a regional Mexican buffet. Travellers may choose from the food options available at the buffet. Vegetarian options are offered, but the meal service is not currently adaptable for other specific dietary requirements, restrictions, or preferences.
  • If your reservation does not yet include a confirmed hotel or assigned meeting point, this information must be sent to our team no later than the day before the tour. From Monday to Saturday, the deadline is 21:50 hrs, GMT-5. On Sundays, the deadline is 8:00 PM, GMT-5. You may provide the information through any available contact channel. After the cut-off time, last-minute pickup arrangements can no longer be processed. If the required hotel or meeting point details are not received on time, the booking will automatically be rescheduled to the next available date. This date change has no extra cost, penalty, or additional fee. However, once the automatic rescheduling has been applied, the reservation will no longer be eligible for a refund.

Activity itinerary

Cancun

  • 2h
The day begins with pickup from Cancun and the Riviera Maya in a bus or minibus. During the pickup route, travellers will receive a box lunch on board, offering a simple and convenient start before continuing towards Tulum. This first transfer prepares the group for a full day that brings together coastal ruins, cenote swimming, famous Tulum photo stops, regional food, and the vibrant atmosphere of Playa del Carmen.

Zona Arqueologica De Tulum

  • 3h
The first major visit takes place at the Tulum Archaeological Zone, one of the most iconic Maya sites along the Mexican Caribbean. Travellers will have approximately 2 hours of free time to explore the area independently. During this stop, guests can walk through the ancient city, admire the stone structures, take photos, and enjoy the unique scenery where Maya history meets the Caribbean coastline. This visit is designed to give travellers flexibility, allowing each guest to experience Tulum at their own pace.

Cenotes Casa Tortuga Tulum

  • 3h
After the archaeological visit, the route continues to Casa Tortugas Cenotes, a natural freshwater area that offers a refreshing change of rhythm. The visit begins with a guided tour through the cenotes, where travellers can learn more about the surroundings and enjoy the natural beauty of these special formations. Guests will have approximately 2.5 hours to swim, relax, take photos, and spend time in the cenote area. This part of the day provides a peaceful and refreshing break after exploring the ruins.

Sculpture Park Ven A La Luz

  • 3h
The experience also includes a visit to the famous Mother Nature sculpture, known as Ven a la Luz, one of Tulum’s most recognised artistic landmarks. This stop adds a creative and photo-friendly moment to the itinerary, showing another side of Tulum beyond its ruins and cenotes. During this section of the tour, travellers will also enjoy a buffet lunch, giving the group time to recharge with local flavours before continuing the route. The itinerary also includes a short stop at the Tulum letters, a classic photo spot where guests can capture a fun memory of their visit to this well-known destination.

Quinta Avenida

  • 1h
The final visit of the day takes place on Playa del Carmen’s famous Fifth Avenue. Travellers will have approximately 1 hour of free time to enjoy this lively pedestrian street at their own pace. Guests may walk around, browse local shops, look for souvenirs, take photos, enjoy the music and lights, or simply experience the Caribbean town atmosphere before the return trip begins.

Cancun

  • 2h
After the free time in Playa del Carmen, transport will begin the return route to the hotels. The drive back takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the route and traffic conditions. This final part of the day gives travellers time to rest after a full experience that included Tulum, cenotes, photo stops, buffet lunch, and Playa del Carmen.
