Cancun Treasure Hunt | A Complete Guide to a Day Trip to the Tulum Mayan Ruins~

| A Complete Guide to a Day Trip to the Tulum Mayan Ruins~. 🔶🔶🔶Looking through the photos of Tulum in my album, my heart is drawn back to that mysterious and charming land. The clear blue of the Caribbean Sea hits my eyes, the waves gently lapping against the coast, nestled against the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum. When ancient civilization intertwines with stunning coastal scenery, Tulum becomes an irresistible destination in my heart! 🚙My Trip Plan: Departing from the Cancun hotel, it takes about 2 hours to drive to the Tulum ruins. First, get a free map at the visitor center to understand the layout of the ruins. Enter from the main entrance and follow the route to visit the attractions: El Castillo, Temple of the Frescoes (Templo de los Frescos), the Altar of Sacrifices (Altar de Sacrificios), etc. After the visit, go to the town to find food and accommodation. 🕔Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 🎟️Tickets: 61 pesos for the park, 95 pesos for the ruins (you must pass through the park to enter Tulum, so you need to buy both tickets, which can be paid in cash or by card) 🌟Note: There is a security check at the entrance. Bottled and canned water are not allowed. Only personal water bottles are permitted (I didn't see any trash cans in the park). 🛕Recommended attractions: ■El Castillo: The landmark building of Tulum, located on a cliff, its architectural style blends traditional elements of Mayan civilization. ■Temple of the Frescoes: Located in the center, it depicts religious rituals, myths, and daily life scenes of the ancient Mayans. ■Altar of Sacrifices: Made of huge stones, it was once used by the ancient Mayans for grand sacrificial ceremonies to pray for favorable weather, good harvests, and the safety of the tribe. ■Watchtower: Together with the castle and watchtower on the coastal cliffs, it formed the defensive lookout system of the ancient city of Tulum. ■Column House Ruins: There are dozens of stone column ruins in the city, which are helpful in understanding the Mayan people's architectural techniques and living habits. 📌Tips: 1️⃣There are many tour groups. If you are traveling independently, try to go early to avoid peak crowds. 2️⃣The Cancun sun is strong, so be sure to wear sunscreen and light, comfortable clothing. 3️⃣There are no restaurants inside the ruins. You can dine at the small restaurants near the exit or in the town.
