Welcome to the Mexican Riveria jungle
NYE 2020
Beautiful.
Burning man vibes
Fantastic food
Great drinks/bars
Magical feeling
Mix of burning man beats, exotic cuisine, and beautiful nature
We stayed in town during NYE since there wasn't a ton of options that were affordable. I recommend staying on the beach since going to and from the town were a hassle. It's doable but not walkable. We rented a scooter for a couple days and that was super easy zipping in and out of traffic!

Tips & Tricks
You will fly into Cancun and its about a 2 hour drive to Tulum.
Carry Pesos but lots of places to take credit cards Wine selection is not going to be good anywhere.
Plan out your activities around where you are staying because the traffic is terrible on the beach trip (can take 30 mins to get from 1 end to the other)
Airbnb’s in town are beautiful and cheap
The northern part of the beach is more relaxing, beautiful beaches
Always confirm your reservations with the hotel directly if doing through a 3rd party booking site.
Confirm your taxi price before you get in. Should be around $250 - $350 pesos.
Bring bug spray and wear it.
Stock up on bottled water in Cancun
All your dinner reservations should be at the earliest 8PM. Thursday - Saturday go at like 9PM.
Bring sneakers to explore jungle
