Tulum VS Puerto Escondido? Comparison for Tourists and Digital Nomads

@@jillmattioli9640 So many of these beautiful places here in Mexico have been trashed by the vast amount of youtubers promoting them. They are small little towns without the infrastructure to accomodate the influx, and the attitudes of the locals end up changing with so many outsiders. It's quite sad what has happened in Tulum. As my daughter says, 'white colonialism redo.'

I was inspired by one of your vlogs awhile back on Puerto Escondido and I ended up spending a month out there. It was amazing! The travelers there are laid back and the food is great. Fast forward a couple weeks later when I in was Tulum and it felt like everyone either wanted my money or was high on something. I left after a few days. Puerto for sure!

[@utecastronoova863]

I have been all over México and trist me almost everyone sees a turista as an ATM machine. Yes it's worse onajor turista áreas butainly speaking if the locals are very friendly they just want your money. I have met a few good folks down here but in general i'm treated like an ATM. I have been to 17 states and over 60 places so far in 16 months and speak spanish so i know what's really going on.

[@justinmacdonald1323]

I've been to a few different states now and none have been more pushy to get me to spend cash than in Quintana Roo. Generally feel like simple no's or gracias have dissuaded other merchants. YMMV though, safe travels through this beautiful land!

[@de_naenae]

Tulum is so exploited at this point. It used to be authentically laid back and chill decades ago. The area has been "hugged to death" by tourism. I really hope PE doesn't meet the same fate. It still has the perfect mix of authenticity and comfort.

[@johannaengman2594]

I was in Tulum the first time in 1989 (old) and there was nothing there. We stayed on the beach in a cabana. The real one with no floor (just the beach). We hanged our hammocks in there and that was it. The shower was a bucket from the well and there was a "restaurant" where we had our meals. You could just walk up to the ruinas, no entry. Now it is something else. Not sure I will ever experience that again maybe a bit when I visited Myanmar but not close.

Your videos have been very useful for our planning!

I really hate when a place gets so popular that it gets crowded and overpriced... Tulum is very different than 30 years ago.

Great video. En pointe. I've been to both Tulum and Puerto Escondido as a digital nomad. I recommend PE if you are a surfer. An alternative to Tulum is Playa del Carmen which I think is a better destination if you are not a surfer. Has the benefits of both worlds with Tulum within day trips distance. Also, WiFi wthin PDC is top notch.

[@711Arigna]

Great information and thank you!

[@GraemeLuey]

That was a pretty good breakdown. I went to Mérida in Jan, then randomly decided to check out Puerto for a week not knowing anything about it, and ended up staying for 4.5 months. Just got back home July 1. Stopped in Playa del Carmen on my way home for a week to visit a friend and check out the area. PDC is pretty gross...that whole side of the country has been ruined by hotels/gift shops catered to making Americans spend money. Puerto was amazing! I'll be going back in the fall. There are a few spots with good internet.y apartment in Tamarindos (between Zicatela and La Punta) was totally fine, and I never had a single issue with connection/speed.

I’m impressed and can say I’d come back.....update I will try huatulco next. Puerto is nice but the water is rough everywhere. If u go to Tulum go to Cozumel you are on the opposite side so there’s no sargassum where the beach clubs are . Great snorkeling.

It actually rains a lot more in Puerto Escondido, than in Tulum. Twice as much. 81 Inches in Puerto Escondido, to 44 inches in Tulum. I don’t know where you get the desert from. It’s a very wet part of México. You probably were there during the dry season. In Puerto Escondido it rains in the summer, in Tulum in the Fall. “PUERTO ESCONDIDO CLIMATE SUMMARY Puerto Escondido is 67m above sea level. The climate is tropical in Puerto Escondido. In winter, there is much less rainfall than in summer. According to Köppen and Geiger, this climate is classified as Aw. The average annual temperature is 25.8 °C | 78.5 °F in Puerto Escondido. The annual rainfall is 2062 mm | 81.2 inch.” “Tulum: Precipitation amounts to 1,120 millimeters (44.1 inches) per year: it is therefore quite abundant. It ranges from 30 mm (1.2 in) in the driest month (March) to 180 mm (7.1 in) in the wettest (October). Here is the average precipitation. On average, there are around 2,525 sunshine hours per year.”

If you aren't an Olympic grade swimmer , stay out of the water especially at Zicatal . I won't mention my favorite beach town in Oaxaca . We like it , nice and quiet , not too many tourists . Tulum is an uppity tourist trap , too many people , with too much money to throw away . The locals know it and take advantage , 10 years ago it wasn't bad , then the Kardasians bought a place there . Enough said .

[@stevennye2441]

Very nice well done review of these two places, I have lived in Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara for over twenty years. Tulum City not the beach has always been one of our favorite places, we know there are the expensive beach places, but the town of Tulum seemed more Europeans and fewer Americans. Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is worth the visit with a large number of birds species and great scenery. It was expensive, we paid $140 per night for a tent, but it was a very nice tent. If you are interested in pre-Colombian societies Tulum is a good jumping off point. Oaxaca is a place we have been several times but never the beaches, my wife is a Mexican and we live at the beach but I never considered the Oaxacan beaches. We will give them a try soon. The one thing I will say about Mexico in general, every significant beach community has a broad variety of accommodations, from $10 to 2,000 per night. Most middle aged Americans tend to do $100-300 per night for a seven to fourteen day vacation versus $35-75 per night for people staying months. Violence in Mexico is over emphasized, there are dangerous places and the later at night and your level of alcohol ingestion increases your likelihood of problems, most of these problems are considerably less than a DUI in the USA. For the millions of tourists that travel to Mexico, most problems are from self destructive behavior not from aggression by locals, because it is very bad for business. Drugs, you will be offered drugs a lot if you are under 40. The best response is no thanks.

Two of my good friends live in each one of those cities. I have a long time friend that lives in Puerto Escondido.

My best friend has been visiting the Cancun, Bacalar, and Tulum area for about 6 months now. He just bought a condo in Tulum and will be moving there in about a week, in mid June 2024. So I'm set to go visit both, hopeully all in one trip. I've lived in Honolulu, Hawaii for about 12, going on 13 years now, so it will be nice to compare these Mexican locations to Hawaii. i've been to Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas before.

I have been to both when I was a digital Nomad. The internet sucks more in puerto. The best spot is at Selinas. They have great internet but of course is not 100% reliable. I prefer Tulum to be honest. But playa del Carmen is even better. The beaches at Tulum are amazing! Heaven on earth. But yeah they have the “tuluminatis” the people that look perfect. Just stay in playa and go to Tulum for day trips (only 45m from playa)

I have also spent time in the Cabo region (so much more than just Cabo - rent a car and stay in La Paz - swimming with whale sharks is the best and cheapest on the planet imho). Also loved Acapulco (yeah, really - even surprised me after all the negative press), Mazatlan, Tijuana (yeah, really!!), Mexico City (AWESOME), Puerta Vallarta (especially Sayurita although that was over 10 years ago before it was really trendy like now) and Chetumal (down on the Belize border).

A few add ONS: Danger... Tulum is in the middle of cartel wars and the police are horribly corrupt straight up robbing people in the street. In PE the police were much less prevalent. I did get patted down one night walking in PE but they didn't take anything and let me go on my way. Sunsets... PE sunsets are unbeatable. Beaches....in the winter I agree with you that Tulum is incredible with blue water and beautiful sand. But in the summer, the sargasso is so horrible you can't even sit on the beach due to the size of the piles and stench. For the wifi: it's like $30 a month for a mifi on telcel. I worked on wifi 100% doing teleconferences with very very minimal interruptions. If the hard line wifi dropped I could always switch over to the Telcel.

Hola, I've started watching your vlogs as I'm planning to travel around Yucatan for 7 days next year and then spend the final week on a beach. You've opened my eyes on prices for outside of Cancun (which I would have thought would be the most expensive part) but Tulum seems to be equally expensive. What are your thoughts on Merida and Valladolid?

[@utecastronoova863]

If You speak spanish You can love cheap even in Cancún. Hanging out in Any tourist área in México is going to be around the same price anywhere You go. The bottom line is if You want to spend a Lot of money its all there. If You want to live in hostels and eat cheap street food You can do that as well I rented rooms in playa del Carmen for 5000 pesos a month in a decente área 10 blocks from the beach. Mérida i passed through twice didnt care for it but it's supposed to be safe. I went during quaranrine so most places were closed...

[@jaimechang3794]

Seven days is not enough to travel around Yucatan because there is so much to see and do. If you can't spend more time limit yourself to few places and come back another time. I've been in Yucatan six times and I still haven't seen everything. I'm going back again next month to Chetumal, Bacalar and Holbox which are places I didn't go before.

It's really ridiculous and I'm looking to leave! So thank you :)

Sayulita and San Pancho are even better IMO

Guuuuuurl... Thank you so much for making this video. I was trying to go to Tulum/Playa del Carmen. But the plane tickets are $4500..... And there are no ways that I can pay that. especially being a family of 4. I really think of chance as my destiny, and go to Oaxaca. Do you know by any chance how is the water around the middle of March. ? Again the video was great. Thank you.

I would like to travel to PE, would it be a good idea to take my 2yr old twins? Wanting to travel 30days in Aug*Sept. Any suggestions / advise

Great video, thank you!

This was an amazing video! Did you go to playa del carmen? I'm thinking of there instead of Tulum for sure. I'm not looking to party, just work remote, relax, maybe scuba dive and hike. What do you recommend? I need good enough WiFi for zoom calls.

[@MackDamage07]

Thank you for your video. I was literally trying to find out which place to go from these 2 places. I will be going to Puerto Escondido ✨😊Mainly because I'm on a budget but want to take my Girl Friend
