I saw some snakes in the ruins and around them. They were very thin and didn't look dangerous, ... but i don't like snakes, so i kept my distance. :-)
And that place is full of iguanas. They are everywhere! Sometimes you don't even notice them since they have the same color as the ruin's stones, ... iguanas don't seem to be dangerous, they just look like they are quietly enjoying their place while loads of tourists get excited about them and shoot their cameras and try to feed them with flowers, ...

Tulum isn't exactly like Cancun or Playa Del Carmen where you find a little shop every few steps where you can sit down to rest in the shade and buy a drink. The heat can be excruciating in Tulum; especially on a windless day, and you can sometimes find yourself a good 30-minute walk from a source of fresh water. This includes being at the ruins. I recommend you carry a litre bottle of water with you at all times to stay hydrated. I also suggest you have a bag of chips with you to replenish the salt your body loses through sweat. I did some fairly serious nerve damage in Mexico once by losing too much salt at the ruins of Chichen Itza. I got nerve twitches in one eyelid, in my arm, and chest--and they lasted on-and-off for 4 years. Backpackers should be extremely cautious when deciding to walk even several kilometers during mid-day.
Bonus Tip: At the far southern end of the ruins (to the right when facing the ocean) there is a tree grove and some small pavilions where you can rest in the shade. Leave a Comment

This is likely the safest place in Mexico to drink the water. That is because it is utterly unpalatable. It is so brackish that if anyone dared to serve it to you, you would spit it out comically. Everyone drinks bottled water all the time. Leave a Comment

 Slow down, crabs crossing. by globetrotter_2006

It's not a danger or a real warning, just an advisory about their mail service. My friend and I mailed postcards at the end of November that arrived at their destination in middle of January. And some were only going to the US! I think they walked them there. So if you're waiting for someone to say 'Got your postcard' you could be in for a long wait! Leave a Comment

 Don't touch the trees! by hayward68
Some updated info from VT'er Zahirah:
"The "poisonous" trees are called che chen, and the nasty rash can only be healed by a mush made of the bark of a chakah tree, which is always found near a che chen, a good thing!" Leave a Comment
