Scrolling through your Instagram and seeing those beautiful tanned girls in bikinis living their best life somewhere exotic makes you wanna buy that ticket right now and leave everything behind. You don’t have to explain, just do it!
Tulum is a hidden tourist paradise
If you live in the east coast of the States or Midwest, its only a short 3-hour flight to Cancun. Isn’t that convincing enough to pack your hot bikini and get the hell out of that freezing place? Tulum is located on the Yucatan Peninsula, a two-hour drive south from Cancun. Despite its smaller size compared to other destinations nearby such as Cancun and Playa del Carmen, there is a surprisingly large amount of tourists present in the streets, you’ll feel safe walking around anytime day or night. Tulum has one main street that goes through the heart of the city where all the boutiques, live music bars, cute cafés, and shops are.
Tulum beach has the coziest jungle feel
Tulum beach is stretched along the coast with a jungle vibe. Alongside the beach are open-air bars and restaurants, bamboo hotels, and mini beachwear boutiques that will make you want to never leave this tropical life. And the beach is just to die for! The feeling of the perfect white sand between your toes is hard to put in the words because it is something you have to experience yourself! And turquoise color water makes you pinch yourself because for a second you think you might be just dreaming.
