The experience

The day starts with hotel pickup and heads into the Yucatan jungle toward Coba, one of the largest Mayan archaeological sites. You'll walk the grounds and see the pyramid structure that dominates the site, though climbing it is not guaranteed or part of the tour. From there, the route moves to Tulum, the clifftop ruins overlooking the Caribbean, where you visit the archaeological zone and Jaguar Park. The Mayan Museum sits within Jaguar Park, displaying vessels, sculptures and architectural pieces that show how Mayan civilization actually worked.

After the museum, you swim or wade in Cenote Multun-Ha, the limestone sinkhole filled with clear water that the Yucatan is known for. Lunch is a buffet served during the day. The whole tour runs about 10 hours from pickup to drop-off. A professional art historian guide leads the group in English or Spanish, and entrance fees to both archaeological sites and the cenote are included. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for hotels in Tulum and the surrounding area (not Cancun or Costa Mujeres).

Groups stay small, a maximum of 15 people, which means less time waiting and more time at each stop. Bring a reusable water bottle or cup. Tulum's regulations prohibit disposable packaging and plastic containers inside the archaeological zone. The tour suits all fitness levels, though you'll be walking between sites and over uneven ground at the ruins.

The Mayan Museum, located within Jaguar Park at Tulum, displays Mayan vessels, sculptures, architectural pieces and other artifacts that illustrate how the civilization lived and built.

Is lunch included, and what if I have dietary restrictions?

Buffet lunch is included with the tour. Beverages are not. Contact the operator about dietary needs when you book so they can advise on what the buffet offers.

Do I need to bring anything special for Tulum?

Bring a reusable water bottle or cup: Tulum's archaeological zone prohibits disposable packaging and plastic containers. Wear comfortable walking shoes, sun protection and swimwear if you plan to enter the cenote.
