Notes
Because the hotel you will be staying is and small hotel we dont have pick up at the lobby, you should go to the lobby of the hotel Gran Porto Real, located on the Constituyentes Avenue just a few steps from your hotel, and the pick up for the tour selected will be there at 07:50 am.
Specific Info/Considerations Picking up passengers at all major hotels since 7:15 am to take them to our terminal for the check in and depart at 8:30.
After driving one and a half hour we arrive to Tulum and take the guided tour.
Then we drive 20 minutes back to Cancun and arrive to Xel Ha, enjoy the beauty from the underwater world. We leave Xel-ha at 5:00 pm ,to get Cancun about 6:30 pm.

http://www.travelyucatan.com/piste_chich… A good Mayan ruin site in the area is Ek Balam, which you can visit in a day trip by bus via Valladolid, which is located 40 km from Piste. To get to Ek Balam from the Valladolid bus station we recommend you take a taxi right from that point and save yourself the aggravation of the walk/collectivo route. It is way faster and worth the money.
Lonely Planet - Mexico A round trip taxi trip to Ek Balam from Valladolid with a 1 hour wait will cost around 20 USD.
Glad to see this post here, as six of us plus a 20 month old toddler are headed to Valladolid as a base of operations for a week in mid July. Izamal, Tizman, Ticul are must-see Mayan towns for us as well as the ruin sites of the area.
i can't wait to go to cancun! i've been to Oahu twice and thought no other beach could ever compare to the beauty of waikiki's or honolulu's color. i was obviously wrong. thanx for the great pics and if there are more, i would love to see them.
If you "must" be in Cancun (which is entirely lame and non-adventurous) - at least take the ferry over to Isla Mujeres. Not a day trip - definately stay the night at their cheap hotels (like $20). Leave the car behind and rent a moped when you get there. Explore. Enjoy the European company as they flee the lameness of Cancun where if you don't enjoy having two tequilla bottles strapped to your head connected by tubes to your mouth - your out of touch.
It really depends on what you plan to do while you were in Cancun. If ... 1. You plan to go to the commonly known tourist area and visit places mostly in the zona hotelera, then taxi (or bus) is your best choice. For common tourist spots like Chichen Itza, Tulum, Xel-Ha, X-caret, etc. you can always go with a tour. 2. You plan to check out some emerging tourist spots like Valladolid, Ek-Balam, Campeche, etc. then you might want to consider a car. However, you could always use express buses (or collectivo) if you think you will just need the transportation during the day. 3. You plan to have some night, long distance travel, then you definitely need a car. However, unless you are driving on a toll-way, I would not recommend driving at night unless you are in a tourist area of a big city (like Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, etc)
