Tulum

Today's excursion was to the Mayan ruins of Tulum in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. In order to get to the ruins, it consisted of a 40 minute ferry ride from Cozumel to Playa del Carmel, then an almost hour drive to the ruins themselves. Despite the length of the trip to get there it was well worth it. The ruins were beautiful. . .and even

Tulum is one of my favorite ruin sites... so beautiful on the Caribbean Sea

That's one of the problems with being in Cozumel on an island when everything people tend to like to see are on the mainland via Playa del Carmen.

I really like Playa del Carmen, we even did a day trip from Cancun. There is a local coach bus you can take for about $4. brand new buses so not to bad for the hour and a half drive.

I didn't manage to get out to Tulum when I was staying in Cancun but did get out to Chichen Itza even though the tour we took I didn't feel it was long enough at the site.

Would you say Tulum was worth it for sure though?

I would say that it was most definitely worth it, though you can't climb through the ruins anymore at Tulum. And if you go by yourself or with a tour that allows you the time, I hear the climb down to the beach to swim is well worth it. It's just so beautiful there. . .the water just a beautiful turquoise color. . .I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
