Everything you need to know about Punta Tulum
The highlights are the Mayan ruins perched on cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea, and the white sand beaches. Don't miss El Castillo pyramid and the ancient murals in the Temple of the Frescoes.
Essentials include sunscreen, swimwear, and a waterproof camera. Since the ruins have little shade, hats and sunglasses are crucial. Bring your own snorkeling gear or rent locally.
The Mayan ruins date back to the 13th-15th centuries, among the last cities inhabited by the Maya. It was a major trading port for obsidian and cacao beans.
Options range from eco-lodges to beachfront resorts. Azulik offers electricity-free stays, while Casa Malca showcases art-filled luxury - both within walking distance of the ruins.
From Cancun, take the ADO bus (2-hour ride). Drivers should head south on Highway 307. The ruins are walkable, but wear sturdy shoes as the stone paths are uneven.
Must-tries include ceviche (citrus-marinated seafood) and cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork). Beachfront restaurants serve fresh catches - try Pescado Tikin Xic, fish grilled with local spices.
