Best Time to Fly to Tulum, Mexico

The best time to visit Tulum depends on what you want to get out of your trip. The most popular time of year is between December and March: temperatures are high, rainfall is low and the hurricane season, which runs from July to September, is finished. However, this is also the busiest time of year and prices are also high. Visiting Tulum in late November or early December, or from April to May – the shoulder seasons – means you will pay far less but still more than likely have great weather. Prices for both airfare and hotel accommodations drop considerably between July and September but bad storms are common and the weather can get uncomfortably hot.

Getting around Tulum, Mexico

El Pueblo is small enough to walk around without having to make use of any other form of transport. If you want to get to the other parts of Tulum, taxis are plentiful and inexpensive and take the heat and hassle out of making your way to and from the beach. Bicycles can be rented cheaply and there are also public bus services and shared minibuses, known as collectivos, that make the journey between the center and the beach several times each day. Collectivos are cheap but very busy so be prepared for very limited personal space.
