Why this trip
Barefoot through the sand, turquoise water and in between a cenote where children cool off: that is how Tulum can be summed up for families. From November to April is the time with mild weather and less rain, which matters for children who want to be outdoors for days. On the beach at Tulum you find room to dig, splash and rest. The Maya ruins above the sea turn an excursion into an adventure, because children can imagine how people once lived here.
In the Gran Cenote school-age children swim in clear water, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a cave. If you are looking for even more nature, go to Xel-Há, where the water is suitable for snorkelling. Among the accommodation are the Mezzanine by La Zebra and the Dune Boutique Hotel Tulum, plus an apartment in the Zona Hotelera that offers families more space. The flight takes 12 to 14 hours, usually with a change, and is a challenge for small children.
Swiss travellers need no visa for up to 180 days. Akumal and Playa del Carmen are neighbouring places for additional days. You clarify your questions about the journey in the video call.
