Jafeth Estrella hermano is it safe in tulum?

[@pedrodeltoral778]

jafeth estrella pregunta. como a mi no me gustan las hordas de turistas. como era tulum en los 70 y 80 comparado con ahora. era tulum super concurrido y ninguna tranquilidad o era mucho mas traqnuilo con menos multitudes y vendedores?

[@victoriaz.vonberg136]

Recent Tulumian from New York City :))) we are a family - Tulum is turning into wow - but let’s keep it’s magic and spiritual vortex energy ❤

[@autopaint111]

awesome for the summer in a magical place with the family!!

[@VladsAdventures]

Tulum is amazing!

[@TravelThoughts]

Very polished account unlike our comparatively "rough" visit to the Ruins from neighbouring Playa del Carmen by collectivos.

[@jennygavins8051]

Ah yoga, shopping and Americans. All the reasons I want to visit Mexico. :l

[@MsKTMvalley]

Take me there!!!

[@Elias-cq1nx]

Show the real Tulum! Show real Mexican magic!

[@jrramos0730]

I want to go there.

[@TheJAC2010]

BEST PLACE AMIGOS

[@RobertXPhotography]

This is everything I don't want to see when I go to Tulum. If I want fashion boutiques and fine dining, I'll just stay home. SHOW ME THE REAL TULUM.

[@RobertXPhotography]

***** It talks nothing about the people, culture and location.

[@Caver461]

+Robert Herrera The real Tulum is in the Sian ka'an and the cenotes. It's a beautiful place, drinking tequila on the beach at night and waiting for the turtles - thats amazing.

[@fastreviews543]

This is the real Tulum: www.azedo.com/tulum/

[@Caver461]

Am I correct in thinking that Mateos is now Hartwood? I used to like the hammocks up above the restaurant where you could drink beer and watch the sun set.

[@dowehave2]

+Caver461 Mateo's is a different place. Still there. Down the road a little bit. Mateo's Mexican Grill

[@shessiebear]

OMG a vegan restaurant in Tulum? I must go!

[@abedzaza813]

+Jessie Wang I hope you're just being sarcastic, because that was by far the most idiotic statement I've read on youtube of late.

[@shessiebear]

abed zaza And who cares what you think, bye you're blocked :)

[@os2841]

So rare to find a vegan dish anywhere, let alone a whole restaurant dedicated to it. I will definitely look for it if/when I am there.

[@Moonsabie]

Chile

[@angelherrera4185]

my favorete place in all riviera maya is amaizing tulum

[@jlslyt]

Warning: there is a clip of the Castillo piramid at the Chichen Itza ruins, which are not located in Tulum, but 150 km away.

[@Precious-xq8nh]

are the foods expensive here?

[@frijolasesino]

Creó que ni vi un paisa en esté video....

[@christopherheath8106]

In 1987, this place was amazing. It is destroyed. If you are puffy and white, and want to fake it, this place is a place to drop $$$ !

[@pedrodeltoral778]

wow that was great. how crowded was tulum back then when comparing to now. was tulum peaceful with no crowds or vendors or it was overcrowded with tourists and vendors? did you guys take a tour guide?

[@ss109guy]

Looks and sounds like a cruise ship.

[@seximexipapasito5587]

Nothing like a cruise ship. WTF are you talking about.

[@jeffsteberg8033]

Rename this place STUFF/, glad I knew it many years ago.

[@miroslavkrastev3328]

You missed to show the garbage. It's an integral part of Tulum. And all Mexico.

[@babylaur6262]

Miro K nah

[@adminuser5810]

¿worse trash than you? seriously doubt it.

[@arcadiovarela5380]

Pure speculation

[@jrhamp]

There was a question or comment previously about how many gringos are living in Mexico illegally. There are many...and most are from Texas...

[@dafnesaenz1617]

this is exactly what I dont want to see... :S

[@adminuser5810]

pues dale un buen trago a alguna botella de detergente en casa.

[@Itzayanatentativi]

Neocolonialism at its best

[@javierfloresguerrero1753]

To me,overrated,dusty and smelly
