the ruins of Tulum
by call_me_rhia
The ruins of Tulum are not as spectacular as other mayan sites, yet their location overlooking the turqouise sea make them breathtaking and unforgettable - this despite the small size of its buildings.
Tulum is a recently given name: in the mayan language it means wall. This ancient city is in fact surrounded by three stone walls on three sides and the caribbean sea on the last side. its orginal name was Zama, which means dawn. The most impressive sight is the castle, el castillo - which, although not the most important building, is for sure the msot eye-catching. it's located on a natural platform over the sea, and from behind it you can walk down to a wonderful beach - crowded, but among the top three beaches I have been to.
There certainly are Iguanas in Ruinas Tulum.

HOT! HOT! HOT!

You barely need any clothes here, but bringing more than one bathing suit is a good idea. Hats and sunglasses are smart, too. Sunblock!! Lots and lots of it, too. Even the kind for your lips. Otherwise you WILL pay.
Groceries ...

If you’re on a low budget trip… staying in the town of Tulum (not by the beach), anything you need to buy… is cheaper off the main avenue. Just walk two or three blocks down both directions and you’ll find everything much cheaper than around the ADO bus station and anywhere along the highway.
Tulum from Playa del Carmen by car
by Dabs
It is a very easy drive on the highway from Playa del Carmen to Tulum but if you are combining Tulum and Xelha there really is no benefit to renting a car as colectivos run all day long so you never have to wait all that long.
If you do decide to drive, familarize yourself with the rules of the road, a quick read through any guide book should be sufficient and check the car for dents and dings before you drive off and make sure they are marked on your rental contract.
Chances are if you rent you will get one of these stylish white classic VW bugs made like they used to in the US :-)
