1 week in Tulum Itinerary
 

Hey all,

A buddy and I (32 years old), will be travelling to Tulum for a week in mid November. We are staying at Villa Pescadores on Playa El Paraiso. Was hoping to get some feedback on our rough itinerary.

Day 8 (Thursday):
Fly home

Day 4: Consider joining an organized tour of Sian Ka’an, and check into whether they will pick you up.

Day 4: Sounds extremely ambitious to me. Even if you can manage Chichen Itza and Valladolid on the same day, consider the Cenotes Dzitnup instead of the ones you list.

Hope that helps!
