Mexico, Tulum

Arrived from Playa Del Carmen on an ADO bus. Took about an hour and cost US$31.
Tulum has some spectacular ruins set on the beach which we did the same afternoon. If you are staying in town you can get a collectivo for US$1 to the turnoff to the ruins where it´s a 600m walk.
The ruins entry costs US$3.80 and US$3 for a video camera although no-one checked.
You can walk to the beach from the ruins, head south from the exit down the beach service road and follow the sign to Cabañas El Mirador and you can walk down to a great beach.
