Mayan Ruins of Tulum

Saturday, March 31, 2012

Today we started out early and headed to the Mayan city of Tulum. The ruins there were not all that impressive but the ancient city was built only a sheer cliff about fifty yards above the beach so the views were spectacular. The day was very hot so we walked along the top edge of the cliff so we could take …

Arrived very early in Tulum and realised we actually had no map at all. Luckily our hostel choice had some discount leaflets in the bus terminal so we followed the map on the leaflet, still didn't stop us walking the wrong way out of the bus station for quite a while until we realised. Oh yeah, and then it rained.

After a nap we got up …

Gracias,

This was not my first time to the Riviera Maya but it was my first FAM trip with Marlin Travel. I got to par take in a 5 day FAM trip with WestJet Vacations to learn all about the resorts they sell in the area.

Our first hotel we stayed at was the Royal Playa Del Cameron which is located in the heart of you guessed it …

Today started off with a 5am wakeup call and walk through the dark streets of Merida to the bus terminal in order to set off early to our next destination; Tulum.

Tulum is a small town on the East coast of Mexico. In the taxi on the way to our hotel it changes quickly from a typical town to an almost hippie like place, passing numerous …

After a well-deserved lie-in we headed to the beautiful ruins of Tulum which are right on the coast next to the beach. We arrived just after 11am and had to queue to get our entry tickets and it was much busier than what we're used to but because you’re not allowed to climb on the ruins ( …

On Friday we headed to Tulum, Mexico to see the Mayan Ruins and spend a couple days here. Vivek, Darinka, Courtney, and I all came to Tulum and arrived around lunch time. All four of us walked around the little town for about 30 minutes in search of Mama's House which was the hostel Vivek and I were planning to stay at. The girls were only here …

We arrived in Tulum and immediately felt comfortable and happy! Muy buena onda (good vibes). We´re staying in the town, which is a little grubby and not breathtakingly beautiful, but everyone is (as always) super friendly and it feels more authentic than one of the MANY gimmicky-yoga-massage-natural juice hotels for 90 bucks a night. We´re just a …

8:10 pm - Sat in Tulum in Casa del Sol the most hippy vibe place ever, its all out door built into a big garden, it kind of reminds me of George of the Jungle. Had a fairly steady day, we left the **** hole Cancun in a torrential downpour and got a two hour bus to Tulum. Very amusing, Sandy did a smelly **** early on into the journey and the smell …

We obviously got our idea for the day out from the Thomson tour rep. Past experience has shown that the outings are excellent but we could often get them a lot cheaper locally.
So this time.
We visited a Mayan family in the jungle and were shown how they still lived sustained by the jungle. The house was wooden hut with no windows, chicken …
