Summer season is a really magical occasion. I was lucky enough to vacation several months in the Cancun, Mexico area this summer season. It was definitely honestly a blessing to be there. I spent most of my visit in a petite jungle settlement known as Tulum. Tulum is situated inside the Riviera Maya roughly 90 miles south of Cancun and about 40 miles from Playa Del Carmen. It really is a fairly easy drive should you rent an automobile and drive on freeway 307 all of the way. You can even take a bus for only a very affordable fee. A taxi ride would not even be too outrageous either, but through riding the bus or renting a van or car you would certainly be saving funds. Without doubt, my most favorite thing about Tulum would be the nation. There are so many authentic people in Tulum, particularly the local Mayans and Mexicans who live there. Another majestic characteristic is the beaches. Tulum has a number of the most wonderful beaches in the planet. You most likely didn’t know that at least one of the Corona commercials with the couple on the beach was recorded here. Yes, it’s absolutely as stunning as you see on TV and yes, you ought to come down for a visit!
The best beach I went to immediately moved to the summit of my finest beach experiences list. I had by no means experienced anything like it, it was so flawless and peaceful . My acquaintances who are actually residents around here term it Turtle beach, but actually the official designation is Xcacel (esh-ca-sell). It truly is no more than a 10 minute ride north of Tulum on interstate 307. Not surprisingly they labeled it turtle beach because when you visit in the dark within the early to mid summer season you will truly have the chance to witness genuine live sea turtles lay their eggs in the sand. Make sure to stay a healthy distance away from the turtle during this process because you may scare the turtle if you get too close. In addition, since this happens at night, the ideal time is when the moon and stars are shining bright. Flashlights will scare the turtle so you must choose a night when the sky is bright so that you can see.
If the circumstances are right, you may get to witness one of the more beautiful scenes you’ll ever see in nature. As luck had it, I was able to witness a live sea turtle laying eggs during my stay down here. I’ve had friends who have been living here for multiple years that still haven’t seen one. This magical moment is something every nature lover should see at least once in their lives.
Going to Turtle Beach in the daylight hours is also quite an experience. The thing that really stood out to me was the small number of people there. It’s very rare to see any more than 50 people there, and maybe 100 in a 3/4 mile stretch of beach if it is a really busy day. Still, even 100 doesn’t seem like much when you consider the size of the beach. The relatively small number of people really makes you feel like you’re staying at an exclusive beach club with a private beach. The waves are very small and so you can go into the 75-80 degree water and just relax with a beverage or play with the kids without having waves constantly smacking you. The small waves are caused by the Coral Reef which is only about 50 feet out from the shore and extending miles out into the ocean. The Coral Reef makes it a really good place to snorkel or scuba dive. Professional diving tours are offered by hundreds of experts in the Tulum area alone. I’m definitely planning on doing some scuba diving when I come back.
My next trip can’t possibly come any quicker. The entirety of the Yucatan is so beautiful. Cancun and Playa del Carmen have so much to offer too. There are hundreds, if not thousands of Playa del Carmen hotels and other Yucatan Peninsula hotels that you’ll love if you like to be where all the people are. If affordability and personalized service are more your style, Tulum hotels are the way to go. I personally recommend Tulum Mexico as a vacation destination for anyone. With all the wonderful lodging accommodations, restaurants, resorts, Mayan ruins and beautiful beaches, you may discover that Tulum is exactly the vacation you’re looking for.
