# Tulum Ruins and Cenote Guided Tour from Cancun

**Guidekin's take:** A guided walk through the clifftop ruins of Tulum with free time after, then a cenote swim with life jackets and lockers included, by air conditioned coach from Cancún or the Riviera Maya. Lunch, the Tulum entry fee and the cenote conservation fee are all paid separately. 4.56 from 2606 reviews at €79 per person.

## Overview

Journey through time to explore the ancient Maya civilization at Tulum, an archaeological marvel. Discover the enduring remnants of this former city's iconic monuments and structures, bearing witness to the Maya's lasting legacy.

Tulum, one of the Mayans' final creations, offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea from its heights, inviting you to savour the natural beauty of the coastline and unwind on its pristine beaches.

To wrap up this memorable journey, visit Cenote Mariposa, a sacred Mayan sinkhole. Immerse yourself in its crystal-clear waters, refreshing your spirit in perfect tranquillity, and forging a deep connection to the ancient Mayan world and the serene wonders of the Yucatán Peninsula.
