HOW TO REACH TULUM

  • Flight - The closest airport to the city is Cancun International Airport (CUN), is situated approximately 1.5 hours north of Tulum. By far, flying into Cancun is the most common method of travel to Tulum.
  • Road - Bus transportation is among the simplest ways to get from Cancun International Airport to Tulum; don't worry, this one is air-conditioned and totally modern. Before continuing on to Merida, the road passes through Cancun, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum.

HOW TO GET AROUND

  • Taxi - Although you can also utilize taxis to travel to the ruins or the reserves, they very much have a monopoly on transporting you from your hotel to the beach (the only other options are to walk, rent or drive yourself).
  • Rental - It is hardly worth the trouble to drive from Cancun or Playa del Carmen to Tulum since locals travel the rough roads quickly and you risk becoming overwhelmed. If you choose to drive, you won't need to get a Mexican driver's license because your U.S. license is already accepted there.
  • On Foot - Walking is always inexpensive, and it's doable in Tulum. Depending on where you are staying, you might choose to stroll from the hotel areas to the beaches, the ruins, or even Tulum Pueblo.
