Mexico

Tulum

Beach town and Maya ruins on the Caribbean coast, south of Cancún, with its own airport since 2023.

A foreign visitor pays 265 pesos for the Tulum ruins. That is 100 pesos for Parque del Jaguar plus 165 pesos for the ruins and Tulum National Park, under a federal decree in force since 20 July 2026. INAH lists the ruins open every day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with last entry at 3:30 p.m. Bring pesos and check the amount at the window.

INAH puts the ruins 128 km (about 80 miles) south of Cancun on Highway 307. It gives no drive time. Tren Maya lists stations at the Cancun airport, Tulum and Tulum airport, but its timetable and fares are not confirmed. The Tulum Times, a local news site, puts Gran Cenote at about 500 pesos and Cenote Calavera at about 300 pesos. These are not official prices, so bring cash and check at the gate.

Coba, an inland Maya site with a tall pyramid, keeps the same hours as the Tulum ruins, with last entry at 4:00 p.m. Foreign visitors pay 210 pesos. The Sian Ka'an reserve is open every day from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and CONANP lists a 225 peso fee. The State Department lists Mexico at Level 2 of four. It says not to travel between cities after dark.
