Day by day in Tulum

Day 1
Day 1: Arrival and getting your bearings
The ruins of Tulum stand on a cliff above the Caribbean Sea, an early visit is worthwhile before the heat. You walk over stone paths and see the wall of the ancient city. The day of arrival stays short, so that your body gets used to the humidity.

Day 2
Day 2: A demanding day
Tulum National Park offers coastal scenery and ruins, and Xel-Há is a lagoon for snorkelling. With water shoes and sunscreen this becomes a long, wet day. What is demanding is the change between sun and water, your circulation needs breaks. Your circulation needs breaks in heat and water, drink more than seems necessary.

The Xplor Park offers zip lines, amphibious vehicles and underground rivers, a programme for the bold. Atik Tulum Park adds nature stations. The cenote diving station La Calypso opens the way into the freshwater under the earth, with a guide. Mosquito protection on skin and clothing is indispensable in the forest.

Day 4
Day 4: A day of discovery
Agua Clara and Diving Cenotes are two diving centres for cave dives in freshwater. Visibility is clear, the current slight, but discipline in your breathing is a must. A day for the experienced and the willing to learn, with plenty of calm in the mind. Breathe calmly and stay with your guide, because caves branch off.

Mexidivers takes divers to further cenotes, and Daniel Popper's wooden sculpture complements the programme with an artwork in the forest. An active day on which head and body alternate. In the evening your hair is still wet. After diving the body rests, drink enough and eat early.

Day 6: Nature and movement
Snorkelling tours take you to reefs that can be reached without a tank. Afterwards you visit Tulum and the national park a second time, this time with more focus on nature than on stone. A day full of salt and sun. Sunscreen should be reef-safe, so that corals and cenotes stay clean.

Day 8
Day 8: Exploring
Atik Tulum Park and La Calypso, second visit: while diving you see more after a week, because your breathing is calmer. The day stays moderate so that the body recovers before the journey home and washes off the salt. Your breathing is steadier after a week, and you see further and for longer.
