Before you go to Tulum

What to know before your trip: fees, rules and how to get there.

We checked this information in November 2026. Fees can change, so confirm at the ticket office.

Archaeological site and Jaguar Park

One ticket covers the Tulum archaeological site and Jaguar Park. Monday to Saturday it costs $165 MXN for foreigners and $80 MXN for Mexicans. Residents of the Tulum municipality enter free.

Sundays

On Sundays entry is free for Mexicans and foreign residents of Mexico. It is the busiest day, so arrive early.

Free-access beaches

The Jaguar Park beaches have free access through a direct path that skips the park’s attractions. Coolers are not allowed and you must take all your trash with you.

Cenotes

Only biodegradable sunscreen is allowed, and ideally none before getting in the water. Cenotes are part of the aquifer that supplies the peninsula’s drinking water.

Sargassum

Between spring and fall, sargassum seaweed can wash up on the coast. Before choosing a beach or beachfront hotel, check the alert map from the Quintana Roo Sargassum Monitoring Network, which posts daily updates on its Facebook page.

Getting there

By air: Tulum International Airport has domestic and international flights, although several airlines cut routes in 2026. Cancún Airport has more options and is about two hours away by road.

Tren Maya: there is a station in Tulum and another at Tulum airport.

By bus: ADO connects Cancún airport, Cancún and Playa del Carmen with the downtown Tulum terminal.
