After your lunch, you will head to the site of Tulum, the only known Mayan port, which saw the arrival of the first conquistadors a few centuries ago. Tulum means "wall" in the Mayan language, and it is indeed the case since it has one of the most beautiful vestiges of this civilization. This ancient city is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea like an ancient fortress, offering a breathtaking view of the Paraiso and Mayan beaches, both for its contrasting colours and its proximity to the jungle, the sea and the city. Tulum combines paradisiacal beach scenery with historical sites, making it a popular destination for travellers. In the late afternoon, you will arrive at your hotel and enjoy a quiet rest.

There, you can take a boat with a local guide who will accompany you through the lagoons.

It is proud of its name of "magic village of Mexico", for its unique features, its historical richness, its culture and its gastronomy, as well as for its pre-Hispanic and colonial buildings, its very strong customs and traditions and for its inhabitants who keep them alive.

-
Where should I buy the flights to reach my destination?
Today Voyages does not sell flights directly. None of our tours come with flights included. Why? Because we prefer to give full flexibility to our valued customers to select the airlines and the booking platform they prefer. As soon as your flight is booked and confirmed, we invite you to update your flight plan within your Today Voyages booking confirmation page by entering your flight number, departure and arrival times, as well as your Passport information (if needed). None of these fields are mandatory but we highly encourage you to provide as much information as possible. This will allow us to provide you with the excellent service you are looking for.

What is an additional excursion or tour optional?
Certain tours might show a selection of additional excursions/optional activities that you may want to add to our standard itinerary.

-
What is the difference between Group Vacations and Private Vacations?
If you purchase one of our Group vacation packages, you will be escorted by a professional tour guide and will be traveling with other like-minded travelers you may not know.
