🦎🌴 Tulum Ruins: Where Iguanas Rule the Maya Caribbean 🌊

Tulum = Maya coastal chic! 🏝️ Once a bustling Maya port city, now a sun-scorched archaeological zone overrun by wild iguanas (and tourists wielding selfie sticks). History Nerd Alert 📚: Maya Architectural Layers 🏗️: Buildings were renovated/expanded over centuries—like a 3D history textbook! Cocoa = Cash 🍫: The Maya drank hot chocolate before it was basic. (Fun fact: They also used cocoa beans as money!) Astronomy Nerds 🔭: The museum showcases their obsession with Venus cycles and “zero” math—centuries before Europe! Survival Guide ☀️: Hydrate or Die 💦: Bring a reusable bottle (they ban plastic here!). I nearly melted after 8 hours of walking. Coconut = Lifesaver 🥥: Vendors near the beach sell overpriced coconuts—worth it! DIY Itinerary 👇: To Go or Not to Go (with a Tour) 🤔: Group Tour 🚌: Cheaper + guides explain stuff (but with heavy accents). Solo 🚶♀️: Flexibility to linger (like me—8 hours!), but you’ll miss hidden details. Transport 🚌: From Playa del Carmen 🚗: ADO buses run hourly. I took the 8:25 AM bus, returned 5:23 PM. 286 pesos roundtrip (~$16 USD). Bus Stop 📍: Walk 5 mins from Tulum Ruins stop to the entrance. Tickets 🎟️: Foreigner Price: 415 pesos ($24 USD) for ruins + 100 pesos cash for museum. 💸 Avoid Scams ⚠️: Ignore street hawkers. Head straight to the official booth (follow the “Ruinas” signs!). Must-See Spots 🌟: Archaeological Zone 🏛️: Start here—largest section with the iconic El Castillo (cliff-top temple). Museum 🏺: Check out the funeral masks (molded from dead rulers’ faces!) and jade artifacts. Viewpoint 🌅: Overlooks the Caribbean—postcard-worthy! Lighthouse 🗼: Chill at the café with a cold drink (and maybe a regretful $8 coconut). Beaches 🏖️: Pick one—they’re all connected by sandy paths. Pro Tips 💡: Rent a Bike 🚴♀️: Cheaper than golf carts + eco-friendly (but hot!). Visit Early 🌅: Avoid crowds and the midday sun. My Story 🤿: I came for cave diving and Chichén Itzá (see my other posts!). But Tulum’s vibe? Unmatched. 🌺 #TulumAdventures #MayaRuins #CaribbeanDreams #SoloTravel 🇲🇽🦎
