A night in Be Tulum averages close to $1,000 USD/night, which is sure to be an unforgettable experience."},{"type":"text","content":"# Some more economical options:\n\n* Una Vida: Una Vida is a great, affordable accommodation option in Tulum. Centrally located in Tulum, Una Vida has a large, removable swimming pool, minimalist decor and a great location from which to explore the city. Rates start around $90 USD/night.\n\n* Azulik : Azulik is a luxurious, eco-friendly paradise. With no wifi or electricity, this property boasts some of the coolest looking rooms. Whether you stay here as a guest or drop by for a meal, Azulik should definitely be added to your Tulum itinerary."},{"type":"text","content":"# Tips for visiting Tulum, Mexico\nCurrency: Mexican Peso - While some high-end restaurants and hotels use credit cards, cash is preferred most places. There are many ATMs around town. I always recommend having two different cards where you can withdraw money.\nLanguage: Spanish, but most locals know some English.\nWhen to visit: Visit during low season or off-season for cheaper prices. I recommend visiting during the months of October to December if possible.\n\nGetting There: Both the beach strip and the town of Tulum are very walkable, but if you're trying to get between the two, I recommend biking. This is a super cheap, easy and proactive way to get around Tulum on a budget. If you are traveling to one of the nearby cities, or from Cancun airport to Tulum, the ADO bus is an easy option for the solo traveler visiting Tulum."},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FhJc1EfdcqECu2cw0C0mQ%2FSnaptik_6853563944276102405_travel-hacks-kristina-cors.mp4?alt=media&token=1c6d965a-582e-4af4-bb9c-a516366dd7b4"}]},{"address":"Gran Cenote","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":20.24647625585744,"longitude":-87.46453920000002},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Day 1\n* Gran Cenote\n\nIn Tulum you will find a lot of Cenote"},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":1509},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FhJc1EfdcqECu2cw0C0mQ%2Ftulum-solo-travel-gran-cenote-2-1-scaled.jpg?alt=media&token=9b9023a7-f413-449b-8a46-808aa2581fa7"},{"type":"text","content":"Considered sacred by the Maya, the vast El Gran Cenote is an underground cave ideal for swimming and diving. Here you can swim, snorkel and dive amongst some pretty interesting geological features, including stalagmites and stalactites, while bats and birds hover overhead.\n\nLocated 3 miles outside of central Tulum, this cenote can get especially crowded, so arrive early for the best atmosphere. To get there, drive or take a taxi towards Cobá until you see the Gran Cenote sign to your right. Despite the crowds and high prices, most visitors are satisfied with their experience and recommend spending a few hours stopping here. Many consider it the perfect antidote to the heat and humidity of the Coba ruins. However, if you're looking for a less crowded atmosphere, consider other venues like Dos Ojos Cenote or Cenote Cristal."},{"type":"text","content":"## Price and Hours\n* 300 pesos (about $15)\n* 8am-4:45pm daily"},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FhJc1EfdcqECu2cw0C0mQ%2FSnaptik_7062359351511518510_herjoliejourney.mp4?alt=media&token=a14be8f6-af5c-4281-80ca-2d62b615741a"},{"type":"text","content":"Some things you need to know when visiting a Cenote:\n* Do not use sunscreen, jewelry and makeup\n*Some Cenotes will ask you to shower before entering"}]},{"address":"Cetli","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":20.230073405852284,"longitude":-87.4589238},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Enjoy food at Cetli"},{"metadata":{"width":539,"height":450},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FhJc1EfdcqECu2cw0C0mQ%2F21.jpg?alt=media&token=3e62dfa9-ab3f-4d5a-bd26-e8bdea16495b"},{"type":"text","content":"This place is an authentic Maya/Sonoran restaurant with great recipes and great atmosphere.

Artifacts found here date back from as early as 350 BC. to as late as 1200-1500 AD. The ruins of Muyil are an example of Peten architecture, like those found in southern Mayan sites with their steep walled pyramids such as Tikal in Guatemala. It is situated on the Sian Ka'an lagoon, a name meaning \"Where the Sky is Born\". Muyil was located along a trade route on the Caribbean once accessible via a series of canals. Among the most commonly traded goods were Jade, obsidian, chocolate, honey, feathers, chewing gum, and salt. It is believed that throughout much of its history, Muyil had strong ties to the center of Coba located some 44 kilometres the north / northwest.
