The Tulum experience

The tour starts at 9:00 in the morning when the transportation departs from the Royal Solaris lobby where we are all ready with our caps, sunscreen and swimsuit. After us, the bus stops briefly to pick up more people in GR Solaris and afterwards we are on our way to Tulum. Our destination is an hour and a half from the Solaris Resorts, in the bus there are two guides who will come with us all the way, giving us important information of the area and some mayan culture insight. To have all the necessary energy for the walk we get a ham and cheese sandwich, some fruit and whatever we want to drink, we can choose between beer, soft drinks and water. The 75 miles ride will go very fast, you will be there in a blink of an eye.

When we arrive at the archaeological zone, we will have a few minutes to go to the bathroom or buy whatever we need, then we are ready to go enjoy the ruins! Throughout the tour we are accompanied by one of the two guides, the group is divided into Spanish and English speakers. The guide tells us important information of the mayan culture, after a while the group separates and everyone has an hour and a half to enjoy the site on their own. In this time you can go watch the incredible view of the Great Castle on the seashore and take all the photographs you want in the most photogenic place of the Riviera Maya, the incredible ruins surrounded by beautiful palm trees.

Later on, we all meet at the entrance where you can cool off with a delicious ice cream or a cold drink, after having been in the sun for a while you know it will be a taste of glory. It's time to go so we get on the bus and head to the refreshing crystal clear water cenote. At arrival, we all run to throw ourselves into the water from the 10 feet high zip line. In the cenote everybody will have a fabulous time but especially the children, they will have a great time jumping into the water again and again, swimming and watching the little fish in the water. There is a general store where you can buy something to eat and drink to finish the day with a snack.

After being a couple of hours in the cenote it is time to return to the hotel. On the way back the guides will invite us to try a traditional drink produced by the Mayan communities of the area based on anise and honey that, besides being a delicious digestive, serves very well as a sweetener. Whoever wants to buy a bottle of this drink and take it home can do so. They also give us some snacks and more drinks. Tequila for everyone!

We will be back at the hotel by 4:00 in the afternoon, ready to rest by the pool after having experienced a day of adventure and gained knowledge.
