Temples of the Yucutan
Blog: See Simi Travel Blog - 2 January 2012
Just yesterday we ushered in the first day of the last year of the world. Um, according to the Mayans, I mean. Although I have outgrown fears of apocalyptic prophesies, what I never seem to get enough of is my love for ancient buildings.

No. 5 – Mexico: Girls gone wild
Blog: See Simi Travel Blog - 7 November 2011
Although fairly new to 30, I can't help but look back at my 20s and think of all the things I will never be able to do again. One of these things is being a college spring breaker in Cancun, Mexico. But realistically, that's probably for the best. Here's info about the fifth country I visited during my travel goal to visit 30 countries by my 30th birthday.

The Mayan Ruins of Tulum
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 16 September 2011
While I was in Mexico last week, I had the chance to visit Tulum. Tulum is an ancient Mayan city located right on the beach. In fact, a popular thing to do here after working up a sweat from walking around is to go swimming in the ocean. There’s nothing like swimming in the shadow [...]

Tulum, Mexico
Blog: Away We Go! - 19 April 2011
Boston’s winter was brutal this year. I love snow, but January was relentlessly snowy. February was bitterly cold and grey. By March Mohit agreed it was time to escape. We used Kayak.com’s mapped fare deals to find out where we could fly for about $300 round trip. Bing

Cancun Is the New Tulum
Blog: Roving Gastronome - 1 December 2010
Finally, all in one place, with photos, my thoughts on why Cancun is not a place for smart travelers to flee, but a place for them to challenge their ideas of authenticity, and what it means to have fun: Cancun Is the New Tulum, in this month’s issue of Perceptive Travel. (And honestly, this has [...]

Cenote Diving, Tulum, Mexico
Blog: Have Internet Will Travel - 28 October 2010
While in Mexico, we had the opportunity to do a number of different cenote dives. Frequently found on the Yucatan Peninsula, a cenote is a sinkhole leading to an underground body of water. Often the result of a collapsed cave ceiling, the water is usually freshwater and incredibly clear since it’s mostly rain water that [...]Read the original article here: Cenote Diving, Tulum, Mexico

DÍA 14: LAS RUINAS DE TULUM Y EL GRAN CENOTE
Blog: Diario de a bordo - 11 August 2010
Ese era nuestro último día entero en Tulum y, de acuerdo con los pronósticos, el día se levantó con claros y nubes. En la agenda teníamos visitar los highlights de Tulum: las ruinas mayas y algún cenote de los muchos que hay por la zona. Para llegar a la zona de las ruinas desde la parte «eco-chic» de Tulum se puede alquilar una bicicleta o ir en taxi. Nosotros nos decantamos por el taxi porque si llovía, como parecía que iba a ocurrir más tarde, no apetecía ir en bici.

DÍA 12: TULUM ¿BIENVENIDOS AL PARAÍSO?
Blog: Diario de a bordo - 11 August 2010
Tras dieciocho horas de autobús, finalmente llegamos a Tulum en la famosísima Riviera Maya. Íbamos en busca de sol y playas paradisíacas y lo único que encontramos fue un temporal de lluvia y viento. ¡Perfecto! O sea que nos hemos dado un palizón para nada...

The Ruins of Tulum, Mexico
Blog: Have Internet Will Travel - 9 August 2010
I know we’ve said this before, but Mike and I really aren’t very good tourists. I’ve seen my share of temples and cathedrals, and museums have never really been my thing. That being said, every once in a while I drag Mike out to do something touristy, mainly because I feel like we should… I [...]Read the original article here: The Ruins of Tulum, Mexico

DÍA 13: VALLADOLID, EK'BALAM Y EL CENOTE DZINUP
Blog: Diario de a bordo - 6 August 2010
Tampoco es que nos diéramos un gran madrugón ese día, pero a las ocho de la mañana ya estábamos en la zona de la playa esperando que algún taxi o el colectivo (que, por cierto, sólo hay dos al día que conecten Tulum con la zona de la playa) pasara por allí. Como era de esperar, a los cinco minutos pasó un taxi que nos llevó a la estación de autobuses por los 50 pesos estipulados.

Wet, Wild and Woo Hoo – Riviera Maya, Mexico
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 2 August 2010
It’s true. Mexico’s Riviera Maya on the Yucatan Peninsula is full of white sand beaches and true blue Caribbean water. But the jungle in the area is also dotted with an unknown number of cenotes which offer gorgeous ways to get wet and cool off without waves, sand or salt. Cenotes are basically sinkholes. In the Yucatán Peninsula they’re usually caves that have become flooded causing the roof to collapse which often exposes an almost perfectly circular opening to the sky above giving people and animals easy access to the water below. And what water!

Muchos Mayans – Tulum & Cobá Ruins, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 29 July 2010
We’re not archaeologists. We didn’t even stay at a Holiday Inn last night (though, alarmingly, there is a Holiday Inn not far from here). And yet we’re making a bit of a career of visiting the half-eroded cryptic remains of previous civilizations here in Southern Mexico. One of the most famous piles of rocks in all of Mexico is what’s left of the once-mighty Mayan city of Tulum (51 peso entrance fee). Eric was here more than 15 years ago and he remembers a place that still felt a bit wild–a bit Indiana Jones.

Beach Boom – Tulum, Mexico
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 22 July 2010
Tulum has been a major travel destination for years and the place has gone through many changes and much growth. The town of Tulum itself still feels like a Mexican town bisected by a highway. Yes, a shade more touristed than most Mexican towns but with enough local tourists from around the country to keep it real. The beach area of Tulum is where the big changes are most evident and most ongoing–so much so that we stayed for an extra week to check it all out. We were lucky enough to call La Zebra home for the first few days.

Tulum
Blog: Boodle's Adventure - around the world in 365 days - 15 July 2010
With nothing else to keep us entertained in Flores, we headed straight up to MEXICO (!!) via shuttle bus that took us through Belize, the plan being that we’d do the north of Mexico first – the states of Yucatan and Quintana Roo – before heading south and then up to Mexico City, instead of doing a weird loop around the country.

Leaving the Isla Mujeres we are again the last car on the ferry and make it by the skin of our teeth. Perfect timing We roll south and checkout the extremely touristy, party-centric town of Playa Del Carmen before getting into Tulum right at dusk. We eat dinner and walk around for two hours trying [...]

Is It Safe To Visit Mexico With A Baby?
Blog: Have Baby Will Travel - 16 September 2009
A lot of people are nervous to bring their little ones to tropical destinations for a lot of reasons – strong sun, possible bug bites, different water… but the latest illness that’s scaring people away (especially from Mexico) is H1N1 or Swine Flu. It is scary, and the fact that it’s now a global pandemic [...]
