Tulum day 2

After breakfast we left with overpriced taxi to Tulum ruins. Hotel receptionist told us price is around 200 pesos for ruins and 400 pesos to Cenotes like Casa Tortuga. Taxi driver wanted originally 450 and I managed to bargain down to 300… the ruins visitor center is huge full of shops and restaurants. You need to buy 3 tickets and go in total to 2 lines 🙈 hey but 450 pesos less we were ready to board one of the golf carts and depart to entrance of archeological park. The park is not huge but due to the walk around the ruins, cliffs and fantastic views of Caribbean beaches we were impressed by the beauty of the place and incredible views. Compared to Chichen Itza the place was not so packed so we could walk around and enjoy. The archeological park ends where one of the best beaches are starting so you can easily walk or just jump on one of many golf carts and get out in some beach. We had a drink in nice beach bar and then returned back to visitor center.

For the afternoon we wanted to drive to nearby cenotes for swim. Cenotes here are much more touristy and expensive then in Valladolid. Here entrance fees can go up to 1200 MXP whereas in Valladolid we paid max. 250 pesos. I found one less popular Cenote Yax-kin where we were almost alone for just 150 pesos. Unfortunately due to NYE restaurant was still closed and they didn’t have many sunbeds so we stayed for only about 2 hours. We opted for collective to go there and save some money. We paid only 35 pesos per person and it was also very easy to get a car for way back. Collectives departs from Seven Eleven by the ruins once they are full.

In the late afternoon we experienced spontaneous culinary tour and ended up in two incredible places ~ Restaurant El Cayulo Tulum incredible seafood restaurant 🤩 and Ola Taco! with incredible seafood and beef/chicken tacos. Definitely one of the best tacos we tried so far 😋😋.

We closed the day with little shopping tour and street food street where I got me a tasty pancake 🥞.Read more
