 snorkeling in the Gran Cenote by twoinluv
Plan on spending an hour or two here. There is a very primitive bathroom / changing room. Ask any taxi driver, and he'll be able to get you there. If you are traveling by car, keep a careful watch out for the small sign that leads you to this cenote. Leave a Comment

 Peace, peace, peace by caribe_utopico
Most tourists usually remain in Tulum ruins and the beach beside it which is also pretty good. However, from the cliff in the ruins you get to see this beach on the south.
You can ask the locals how to get to this beach, but it is easy, in the place where you get the tickets to get into the ruins you will turn back and you will see a lonely road pointing south, walk on that road for less than one kilometer and then get into any of the small pathways on your left, any of these will take you to Las Cabaņas. You can also take a taxi from Tulum and they will take you there for less than 4 bucks.
Walk thru the white sands. Don't miss the bar with swingers and have a few drinks there. Relax for a while under the palms just watching the sea and listening to the waves.
Seems like if this place is great for doing scuba diving, that was what most of the (few) people there was doing.
My guess is that the magnet from Atlantis was buried in this place... I will be back some day!
P.S: By the way... I hate the way the picture looks in internet! It doesn't reflect how beatiful this place is! Leave a Comment

 View from the top of Coba's
tallest pyramid. by lxine
Coba is an easy bus ride away from Tulum. Just buy a ticket at the station (around US$4.00), and the coach bus takes about 45 minutes. You'll be riding side by side with the locals, ripping through rural jungle roads. Don't forget to use the free toilet at the station before you leave!
It's best to visit Coba if you are fit and can dedicate a day to explore. Hiking up the giant pyramid ain't no easy task, but the view is spectacular from the top! Bring lots of water and bug spray, and good luck!
Be sure to visit Virtual Tourist's pages on Coba for more details! Leave a Comment

Playa del Carmen off the beaten track? If you are staying in Tulum it is (normally its the other way round!). Much more developed than Tulum, with a number of bars, clubs, restaurants, it has become something of a holiday playground. As a more commercial centre, it is the best place to do any holiday shopping for those little touristy things required to take back home. Leave a Comment

 Ponderosa Cenote by hayward68
We drove out into the jungle to do a cavern dive at the Ponderosa cenote. It was such a cool experience as you are completely underground at times. The pic shows the entrance to the cavern that we dove in. You can see the rope which we used to guide ourselves underground. I was able to get a video of my dive which really has impressed my friends. Diving in the jungle was something I will never forget.
A one tank dive will cost around $50-60 US, and a two tank dive around $90-100 US. Two tank dives will usually include snacks in the price. Both include transportation to the cenote.
Most resorts will be able to sort out a dive for you or got to the local towns and dive operators will have shops which you can visit. Leave a Comment

This is Maya for 'water stirred by the wind.' These ruins are a 35 min. drive northwest of Tulum out in the jungle, so bring your bug spray. In it's heyday from AD 800 - Ad 1100 there were as many as 55 000 residents. The jungle has overtaken most of the buildings, it's estimated that there are approx. 6500 structures of which only 5% have been excavated. You walk along through the jungle and see large mounds which are still to be uncovered. This pic is of Nohuch Mul. It's the largest pyramid at 42 meters in height and well worth the climb.
