Tulum

A great experience, although there was a long wait to get in, but they are making many improvements. Hopefully, this will resolve the situation. In my opinion, the main problem was that everyone with a ticket was in a very long line, and those without tickets passed us to go to the front to buy them, and then joined the line in front of us. There are a few things to consider, but it depends on whether you hired a tour previously because there are parking fees, entrance fees, and tour guides (optional). I strongly recommend bringing sunscreen, insect repellent, water, and an umbrella for those who burn easily. The archaeological site was a small fortified Maya village - and the government is putting more effort into rescuing and preserving the site, which is good news! - The buildings have withstood the test of time well and provide a good perspective on how organized the Mayans were long ago! Expect a long walk with little shade, so bring a hat and apply sunscreen liberally. The surrounding vegetation is typical low trees and marshland, so expect mosquitoes if you visit during the rainy season.
