Tulum: In Tulum, we do visiting the Mayan ruins which offer a very different setting from the other ruins in
Quintana Roo. Indeed, the ruins are perched on the sea edge. It is very easy to get to the ruins by bus (mini
buses / shared taxis).

Tulum beach is beautiful, the sand is incredibly fine and the water turquoise.

The boat trip also includes a snorkelling tour on the coral reef among many fish as well as rays and turtles!
Swimming with turtles was a dream for us.

interconnected by underground rivers. In Cenote of Ik Kil and experience one of the sinkholes that form part
of a network of underground rivers sacred to the Maya people.

Yucatan and the first to be visited from the important tourist market of Quintana Roo is undoubtedly
Valladolid, for the majesty of its temples and the ancestry of its old neighborhoods.

from the equinox that casts shadows on each step to create an image of a serpent descending.

snorkeled in the protected waters of a marine park.
