Tulum went from being a tiny fishing village to turning into one of Mexico’s most popular beach destinations. Seriously, I remember when I visited for the first time way before I became a travel blogger<\/a> and the change is insane!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes total sense, though. Not only are the pristine beaches that line the town absolutely picture-perfect, but there’s also so much to do in and around Tulum that it’s pretty much the ideal place to hit up regardless of your travel style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re currently planning your Tulum itinerary and find yourself at loss as to what to pack in there, here are just a few of the best things to do in Tulum that you can’t miss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Ven a La Luz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ven a La Luz (Come To the Light<\/em>) is Tulum’s newest sight. The installation was originally created by South African artist Daniel Popper<\/a> as part of an arts festival in Tulum, and then became a permanent resident of Ahau Tulum Resort<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Popper’s installation is relatively new, so you probably haven’t seen it on other Tulum travel guides yet. You’ve definitely spotted it on Instagram already, though! It reminds me of Te Fiti from Moana 😅<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the architectural wonderland at AZULIK Uh May<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another must-see is Tulum’s newest contemporary museum: AZULIK Uh May. Not only is the entire property a work of art itself, but you can also easily spend a few hours here checking out the exhibitions on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Tulum Archeological Site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mexico is a haven for archaeological sites, but in my opinion, the most beautiful one is Tulum’s! What makes Tulum Archaeological Site so special is the fact that it overlooks the ocean, which makes it such a treat to the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictured below is El Castillo (originally built as a watchtower to keep an eye out for enemies and trade). El Castillo is the most iconic building of the site, but this attraction is much more than that as the site is pretty big and consists of several buildings, houses, and ceremonial centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to get travel insurance for your trip! As always, I recommend Safety Wing<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> for great prices and coverage abroad. It starts at only $45 USD per month and will have you covered with everything you may need during your trip! Check them out here<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bike and explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The best way to explore Tulum is on a bike (if you can handle the heat!). The best areas to bike in are along the road by the beach, which is mostly shaded by lush trees. There are rarely cars around this section, and you can stop by for a break at the beach pretty frequently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most hotels and Airbnbs these days offer free bikes for guests, but you can also find a ton of bike rental shops in the center of town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
