Itinerary
Tulum stands on a bluff facing east toward the Caribbean Sea. Tulúm is also the Yucatán Mayan word for fence, wall[1] or trench. The walls surrounding the site allowed the Tulum fort to be defended against invasions. Tulum had access to both land and sea trade routes, making it an important trade hub, especially for obsidian.
Discover the magic of the Mayan culture, in the turquoise waters of cenote Maiposa.

EKINOX Tours Review
Our Tulum and Cenote tour was absolutely spectacular, made unforgettable by the incredible team of guides—Kauil, Moo, and Estrella. Their deep knowledge of Mayan history, combined with high energy and personal care, made every moment engaging. The transportation was top-notch, featuring extremely clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned buses, ensuring a refreshing experience between spots.
Long day
It was a very long day. Tulum was good but the lunch stop, Cenote and Playa del Carman were a little disappointing.
Tulum and Playa del carmen are over-rated!
We found the Tulum ruins not to be that great, especially compared to Chitzenitza or Uzmal. Nice view but also could not see the inside of any of them…Playa del Carmen was just a tourist trip, and the Cenotes were just so-so. The lunch was the best part.
Nice trip but prolonged
The organisation of the trip was excellent, and the guides were knowledgeable and engaging. However, the day felt unnecessarily prolonged due to a two-hour stop at Playa del Carmen on the return journey. As a western traveller, the shopping street offered little of interest and did not add value to the experience. Ending the tour around 6:00 pm would have been far more comfortable, whereas the late finish at 8:30 pm made the day long and tiring.
