TULUM, Mexico 2020 (How to travel on a BUDGET)

TULUM Mexico 2020 (How to travel on a BUDGET)
In this episode, we will take you to the beautiful town of Tulum on the coast of Quintana Roo, Mexico. We will show you how you can visit Tulum on a BUDGET.
Tulum is made up of three main zones - the Tulum ruins (which are currently closed), the Tulum beach strip, and Tulum town. We show you the major differences between the beach strip and town, with an emphasis on the difference in prices.
We attempted to visit one of the Mayan’s most famous archeological zones in Tulum; but unfortunately, they were closed. We had done our own research beforehand and the official website showed that the ruins were open to the public, but the information we had found seems to not have been recently updated.
Tulum has recently become a tourism hotspot for international travelers for its chill-hippie vibes, rustic architecture, and Caribbean beaches.

Watching your KZbin videos makes me want to eat Mexican food!! the food looks so yummy!!

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Annastatziaa🤗🤗 oh my gosh, as so as you’re here in Mexico, you’re probably just going to want to eat for the the first few days 😅🤭 the food is so good and we know that as soon as we get back, that’s what we’ll be doing 😅🙌🏼🇲🇽

[@annastayziaa]

@@ForTheRoadTravels LOL i probably am going to end up eating the first few days hahahaha! and thank you both, now i know to go to stands and eat from locals to get the authentic food that tastes better + is more affordable than the westernized restaurants! 😁 thank you soo much!

[@TangerineTravels]

Just came across your channel. Great video, guys! Those UPF shirts are the best for the killer sun in this region

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hi, @Tangerine Travelers thank you so much for watching and we're so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the sun is brutal this time of the year. 🌞 We saw you have just uploaded a new video, we're just about to go and check it out.

[@Travelwithchris]

I'm in Tulum right now also! Sucha vibe!

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hi Chris, glad you are there. Tulum is so cool. We hope you are having an amazing time. Let us know if you need recommendation in the area. We are based in Playa del Carmen. 🇲🇽😉

[@1shaneeka]

For The Road is Tulum safe for a woman to go alone?

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Shaneeka😊 my experience in Mexico as a foreign female so far has been positive. I would say that Tulum is safe for solo travellers as there are so many other travellers to connect with while there. We would just say to avoid walking the streets alone at night, just as an extra precaution. We do hope you choose to visit Tulum as it is such a beutiful part of Mexico 🇲🇽😊 sending positive vibes all the way from Mexico.

[@lachellewashington6642]

Thank you so much for sharing, I'm actually going to take a day trip from Cancun to Tulum definitely will check out some stops you mentioned in your video...thanks for sharing

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hi Lachelle, thank you for watching our video and we're glad this video has been useful for you. Have a great day in Tulum. P.S. if you see a MARQUESITA stand on the side of the road be sure to get one of those, they are so good! 😊

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Daryush, We bet you will have an amazing time in Cancun 🌴🍻, we definitely recommend visiting #tulum and the Cenotes are close by.

Hola Ronnie, thank you for watching and comment on our video. To be honest we left our bags on top of a bench that was close by there.

@@ForTheRoadTravels Thank you for the reply and tips!!! 😊

[@terryelliott4942]

Guys I need that place and those tacos in my life thanks

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Terry! Oh my goodness those tacos were absolutely delicious :) If you ever come down to Tulum you need to try the tacos of course as well as the marquesitas - they're like crispy rolled up crepes and they're amazing. Sauldos desde Mexico.

[@NomadicIslanders]

I heard the ruins are still closed to this day 😫. I think they opened a day or two and then closed again. Loved the video guys 😁

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Ah that's so sad, I'm sure tons of tourists come down to Tulum specifically to see the ruins. Hopefully they open up soon though! Thank you so much guys, we are glad you enjoyed it :)

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

This video makes me feel like I'm back in Tulum - its such an amazing place, I hope to be able to visit again soon! Can't wait to see more! New subscriber here :)

[@katieporteous3542]

Hi, great video! Did you bring bike locks with you or where these provided with bike rental?

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Katie, Thank you for watching, the locks were provided by the bike rental, they actually gave us only one but long enough to lock both bikes. Please let us know if you have any further question 😃🇲🇽

[@katieporteous3542]

Gracias!!

[@RA0S98]

😍🤩

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Thank you support, we love to share all the beauty that Mexico has to offer.

[@yeseniaroman1934]

Would you recommend bike riding to the cenotes? Is that an option?

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Yes, but we would recommend be careful as you would have to drive on the highway. Thank you for watching Yesenia 😊🇲🇽

[@tordyclark]

Hello, thanks for posting. Is there Sargassum in Tulum and is it swimmable? Going in a week.

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hello, Tordy, thank you very much for watching. The time when we were there did not have the blue Caribbean colours. Nevertheless we saw on friends pictures and Instagram and is looking a bit better. What I can say Cozumel water looks amazing you can check it in our video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXauq4KihdiNgpI. Please let us know if you have any further information, we will be more than happy to assist 😊🇲🇽

[@tordyclark]

@@ForTheRoadTravels ok good to know. I just saw that actually the beaches are CLOSED. Is this true? I will be staying in town and not at a beach hotel. Can you clarify what's going on? It's truly sad the sea is changed. I stayed Tulum in 1998 and there were about three hotels on the beach.

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

@@tordyclark Hi Tordy thank you for your comment. Yes, indeed the Mexican Government is currently operating under an Epidemiologic Risk Assessment (traffic-light system) in order to move towards the “new normal”. Thus, compliance with regulations for the use of public spaces to avoid COVID-19 transmission is enforced through a monitoring system. The traffic-light system is based on four colours. RED, ORANGE, YELLOW and GREEN. in the state of Quintana Roo where Tulum is located, we are currently in Orange that non-essential services o public spaces must be closed. However the state Governor is trying to push the economy promoting tourism, if you are staying in a beach hotel, or beach club you will have granted access to the beach. Nevertheless, we will advise you to check the places you'd like to visit to make sure you will have access to the ocean. Hope this information is helpful for you. Let us know if you have any further question. I will leave the link of the Mexican government you can see the most updated information: embamex.sre.gob.mx/reinounido/index.php/en/view-more/1776-tourism-guidelines-for-international-visitors-upon-their-arrival-in-mexico

[@MrSlimdaddybim]

I'm in Tulum currently. Chichen Itza/ruins is still closed 😭

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hi Joseph, how is Tulum right now? Oh, we're sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, this COVID situation has pushed the opening date for the archeological zones later than what was originally anticipated. We hope everything gets back to normal soon and travel becomes easier for everyone. 😀🇲🇽 We hope you're having a wonderful time in Tulum!

[@millyventures]

Okey y’all!! I’m thinking of visiting Tulum next year😍😍😍 are you guys from there??

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hi Milly, you definitely have to visit Tulum; there so much things to see and so many things to do. We are currently living in Playa del Carmen. Geovanny is from the Yucatan Peninsula and I am from South Africa.

[@millyventures]

For The Road how far are guys from Tulum? Aww I have too!! Looks so great!!! Y’all are great!!!

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

@@millyventures We are 45 minutes away from Tulum. Thank you so much, so are you!

[@millyventures]

For The Road ohh not too far!!😍😍 I have to rewatch this for my upcoming plans to go there!!😍

[@alexes8268]

Thinking to visit tulum for a month on a budget .. how much would be the budget for 2 people for a month? More or less?

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Alex, thank you very much for watching. Based on a quick research if staying in a Airbnb (US$265) + groceries (US$250) if you guys eat fresh produce is pretty affordable and entertainment (US$500) this is based on a tight budget prices can vary due to high/slow season. We would say around US$1,000. Always connecting with the locals and avoiding touristy areas are ways to save more and you can have the real experience of Tulum. Stay tuned for our upcoming uploads. Saludos desde Mexico 😉🇲🇽

[@ajiarahman2205]

Where do i find the colectivo minivan stop in cancun? Is it at the cancun airport. I want to go to tulum but im still unsure how to get there from cancun without renting a car. And what about the ado bus?

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

We would recommend taking the ADO bus at Cancun airport, this will take you to the Cancun City ADO bus stop (this is the cheapest option) From Cancun you can even take the collectivo located just across from the ADO bus stop to get to Playa del Carmen. From Playa, you can get another colectivo under the highway bridge close to Juarez Avenue, it will take you to Tulum. A more comfortable option, a bit more expensive but not ridiculous would be taking the ADO from Cancun City direct to Tulum. In this way, you would avoid the hassle of having to hop on and hop off the colectivos. Thank you very much for watching and let us know if you have any other questions. 😀🇲🇽

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Here is the ADO link www.ado.com.mx/viajes/terminal-cancun-a-ciudad-tulum-qr/?fechaIda=30/09/2020. This is around 10 USD to get to Tulum. Hope this info is helpful.

[@ajiarahman2205]

For The Road thankyou so much
