You have arrived in Tulum to enjoy your vacation and, after visiting the hotel , you decide to start your first day with the relaxation that only a beach can offer. You are heading to Playa Paraíso. This beach is as popular as Playa del Carmen and there you can swim in its waters, go scuba diving or simply relax enjoying a wide variety of gastronomic offers.
For your second day, we recommend you pack your backpack and head to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. This place is characterized by both its cenotes and its beaches and its beautiful coral reefs, one of the largest in the world. In all these spaces you will be able to enjoy the observation of different types of fauna and of the petenes, which are a mass of trees that reach up to 30 meters in height and stand tall in the thickets of swamps.
It is your third day in Tulum and we invite you to visit the famous Mayan ruins of Tulum. They are located south of the center of Tulum and there you can enjoy several temples and castles of this great pre-Columbian culture that are located on top of a small hill, dominating the heights and offering a beautiful view of the sea and the surrounding landscape. After touring the structures, you can enjoy the afternoon swimming on the beach.

You decided that three days is not enough, so you are preparing to take advantage of your fourth day with a visit to the Gran Cenote. The Mayans considered the cenotes as sacred waters, and it is not difficult to see why. You can swim in completely crystal clear water, surrounded by stalagmites and stalactites, and even go snorkeling and diving.
On your fifth day in Tulum, you can visit the Coba Ruins. This complex, located 50 kilometers north of Tulum, is ideal for lovers of Mayan culture. One of the most interesting points is that its structures were never restored, but were cleared and opened to the public without modifications so that visitors can maintain the feeling of authenticity. Another point that makes this little-known place a great attraction is that it does not usually attract large numbers of tourists despite its beauty, so you can enjoy it with ease.
