One of the best things to do in Tulum Mexico is taking a day trip to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest protected area in the Mexican Caribbean. Witness some of the most beautiful clear blue waters we have ever encountered on our travels, wild dolphins, giant sea turtles, wild birds, and snorkel through the second largest reef system in the world.
Visit the ancient Mayan ruins. The Yucatan Peninsula has some of the most impressive Mayan ruins in the world so it would be a shame to not at least see one while you’re here and luckily for you being in Tulum you’re close to some of the most incredible ruins on the peninsula.
One of the most popular cenotes in Tulum Mexico is Gran Cenote! The cenote itself is large and can get very crowded. We recommend showing up early in the morning to have the place as empty as possible before the hoards of people show up. Part of the cenote is an open pool and part of it is in a cave.
