Tulum Beach
Quintana Roo · Mexico
Driving from the archaeological site along the coastal road, your guide will point out and explain the local architectural and fashion styles that have developed in this booking bohemian tourist town, perhaps visiting a couple of iconic businesses who best showcase these styles. You will then stop for lunch at a location determined based on your preferred style and budget, decided on the day. This might be tacos away from the beach, or a visit to a beach club, typically with emblematic Tulum-style design, a pool and access to the beach and sea.
