You’re looking for a 1-day guide to Tulum<\/a> because you want to explore and make the most of your time in the Riviera Maya<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Well done you!<\/p>\n

If you’re new to the region choosing between Playa del Carmen<\/a> and Tulum<\/a>\u00a0can be tough, so why not do both?<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are just 40 minutes away<\/strong> from each other, and there are many transport links connecting the two (more on that later).<\/p>\n

\"what<\/p>\n

Here’s the DL, since living here I would definitely advise that Playa del Carmen was the perfect base for your vacation (especially if you’re traveling with kids).<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because it boasts the perfect blend of civilization, natural beauty, and convenience.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

However,\u00a0 Tulum is still an untouched slice of paradise<\/strong>, and I’d also encourage travelers to take at least a day out of their schedule to experience this simply stunning underdeveloped town.<\/p>\n

\"itinerary<\/p>\n

It is one of my favorite areas in the Riviera Maya and is extremely popular with younger travelers, and people who prefer a more secluded natural vibe from their vacations.<\/p>\n
