Tulum Mexico is about 1 hour drive south of Playa del Carmen and only 25 minutes south of Akumal.
I (Jamie), and my boyfriend Tyler, spent a week there back in February, and I had to share a few of my favourite things.
1. White sandy beaches and sunshine
Sand and sea weed at the Hotel beaches along 5th Avenue (main tourist strip in Playa Del Carmen)
2. The native species of animals (Coati)
Coati eating tortilla fed by workers at the Tulum Ruins
3. The culture and history
Locals on their boat getting ready to head out from Playa Del Carmen (not sure where they’re going – maybe fishing? maybe to the neighbouring island Conzumel?)
4. The amazing clear blue water
Aerial view of beach in Tulum – tons of teenagers out travelling from different parts of the world and a lot from different parts of Mexico out for a swim (A lot of people drive up from the South from Belize for a little getaway)
5. The friends we made along the way
