Tulum - Mayan ruins, and much more
There are a lot of things you can do in Tulum. Mayan ruins - yep. Scuba diving and snorkelling - that too. Shopping - more than enough. Laying on the beach - in abundance.
My favorite thing to do in Tulum - a whole lot of nothing. That isn’t to say I don’t enjoy those other activities, but i have already done them, multiple times. Now when I think of Tulum I like to find a cozy spot to rest and read. This isn’t a criticism, it is a compliment.
Finding rest can be tough. For many of us, life is so busy and then we take vacation. If you are in Tulum for a week, you can spend a day or two sightseeing, and be satisfied. Then find your own spot to do nothing.
