How to get to Tulum 

The closest airport near Tulum, Mexico is the Cancun International airport which is 81 miles north of Tulum. Tulum is building an airport that is set to open sometime in 2023, but in the meantime you will need to have transportation from Cancun to Tulum and vice versa.

  • Rental car

  • Shared shuttle
  • ADO bus

How to get around Tulum

The best option for getting around Tulum is renting a car, especially if you are following this itinerary and going on the recommended day trips from Tulum to Bacalar and Tulum to Chichen Itza. However, for days that you plan to stay local to Tulum, you can easily get around Tulum by taxi, colectivo, or bike. Day trips and tours can also be booked from sites like Tripadvisor or Viator.

Is Tulum Safe

Overall, Tulum is generally safe, especially compared to the rest of Mexico. We’ve been to Mexico several times and we’ve generally felt pretty safe. However, crime does exist in Tulum and most of the crimes are drug related. It is important to keep yourself safe and trust your gut no matter where you are traveling in the world. A few safety tips we have included for this itinerary:
  • Stay on the main roads and drive only during daylight
  • Only carry a small amount of cash on you 
  • Don’t flash valuable items
  • Always be aware of your belongings
  • Keep an eye on your drinks
  • Never be under any influence in public
  • Know and stick to the laws 


Is Tulum Expensive 

Like any vacation, expenses can add up quickly but you can easily visit Tulum on a budget. We are typically pretty budget conscious and for that reason we have a included few tips in this itinerary to help save on costs: 
  • Rent an Airbnb with a kitchen to help save costs on meals
  • Stay near downtown rather than at the beach
  • Rent a car rather than booking tours to cenotes and/or Chichen Itza 
  • Eat where the locals eat rather than at the beach hotels/restaurants

What's your refund policy?



Yes! Time is money. This itinerary is designed to save the guesswork of what to do, what to see, and where to sleep and give you the costs so you can budget for this trip. We also give squad tips that will help save on things like car rentals and getting the best hotel rate. You can also check out our episode with money saving travel tips to save even more on this trip and others!

Will this save me any money?



Absolutely! We realize that maybe your perfect Tulum vacation is 3 days or 5 days. The great thing about our itinerary is you can modify it to meet your needs. Perhaps you want to focus solely on Tulum and forgo the day trips outside of Tulum, or maybe visiting just 1 cenote is enough for you. By providing you with a 7 day itinerary, you have a lot of options to choose from. 

I can't spend a week in Tulum. Will I still find value in this itinerary?

This itinerary breaks down everything in one PDF guide. The itinerary adds even more value by planning every detail of a 7 day trip to Tulum so all you have to do is truly book it, show up and enjoy the trip. We learn a lot on our trips about things that were worth it, things we wish we did, and the optimal route to take if we could do it over. You benefit from those learnings with this itinerary! Our podcast episode of Tulum, tell you what we did, but not to the level of detail you’ll find within our itinerary.
