i was back in tulum in august 2021 yes with all of the seaweed but i found so many
new things that i discovered so i'm actually really excited to share with you in this week's
video some of those things to inspire you for your own trip i love tulum so let's dive in
welcome to tulum beach this morning i am going around on my little beef beet moped
and getting some instagram worthy shots
i know you know that statue take a picture here with nobody here well then you're going to have
to come not on a weekend and at the butt crack of dawn so there you go that's where you get the shot
it's a friendly reminder of what it's like to hit the instagram spots in tulum kind of like that so
no i was not on any kind of formal instagram tour i was just taking myself out to get all of the
photos that everybody sees on instagram and take them for myself and tip for you i was surprised
this was actually way easier than i anticipated because so many of these spots are right
next to each other all along tulum beach so i have a full video on this if you want to check that out
link in description below with tons of helpful tips but it was really fun to go and capture
i just parked my sweet ride and i think you know where i'm at
that follow the dream sign which can be found at lolita lolita
i always knew this spot as the sign and the beautiful clothing in the store but now i also
know it as an amazing place to get your nails did amongst other spa services so make sure you check
out the website link in the description below you know it's all in there for you but here's
something you might not know is that you can meet lolita at the store she's awesome she's
a total badass and you can drink mezcal with her and she also has this really amazing and beautiful
i don't know if this dogs a good sign or if that is that a good sign tell me in
the comments below good sign or bad sign you didn't fart on me okay okay i don't
these are tulum vibes for real you really want to get your tulum on
and you want to look the part this is the spot
you gotta pay to play i wonder if they have anything dry fit in here
i bet you have a headache i do oh i should not do this one-handed i'm doing this for you guys
eyes focused on the road that was shot with a gopro in other words this footage is insanely
stabilized and you don't really get the feel for how really bumpy the tulum road is and so i
know a lot of you guys are gonna ask me about my scooter and so exploring tulum by scooter was a
new thing for me i'm so used to renting a bicycle but i tried something different with the scooter
i'll just provide these tips for you because i had a bad experience one make sure you try to find the
most legit company and even if you do you might just happen to come across some corrupt things
the second thing is yes opt in for the insurance that's just my recommendation for you third i
would say don't write at night there's a lot of drunk drivers on the road and i would also say
if you're riding with someone on the back just be really careful because the road is so bumpy it's
really easy to take a spill luckily i was in the safe for the most part for this trip no accident
or anything yes i had a bad experience with the company that i rented from but it's mexico
on that amazing note let's go have a drink i really enjoyed the drinks at hotelito azul
rooftop right on the beach it was really beautiful up there this is a newer property
and you can go up there and have drinks they are generally around 17 or so for a glass of wine
or a cocktail so a little bit more on the pricier side but this newer hotel is also a pricier hotel
my friends were staying there their rate was 600 a night i just looked right now also six hundred
dollars a night but i stayed next door and here's the next thing to discover which is coco tulum
i have a full video link in the description below but i would say one highlight is that
this location is really great if you're trying to hang out on tulum beach in particular south
tulum beach i would say the low light of it is i was pretty underwhelmed by my 300
per night room that had also crabs and cockroaches inside of it so you know i keep it honest but if
you're looking for somewhere to stay there's so many new places opening up especially because
the newer road that leads from town to beach is open and so that opens up a whole new world of
opportunity for places to stay as well and let's head to a beach club that i didn't know existed
i'm scared let's turn around something's about to happen get
so down the excited hole is a really fun and awesome looking beach club worth checking out
because why not don't we all need more drinks in our life and you may or may not see that
amazingly cute weenie dog but i do want to share a place that i did enjoy staying at
i've got a full video link in the description below staying at the aloft hotel which just
recently opened in 2021 and this is one of the reasons why i really enjoyed staying there i
just need to interrupt this video really quick to say if you have been out in tulum in the
jungle adventuring hard it's so nice to have a hotel to come back to that you can turn on the
air conditioning you can relax you can have a minute before we we're resting for a second but
we are about to go head out on our scooter in tulum beach hard for more adventures that are
sweaty and bug bitten but it is so nice to come here and just have that moment okay which by
the way if you're having some fun with me in this video cheers that like button consider subscribing
tell me in the comments when you are heading to tulum i'd love to know and let's get back
on this trip i headed back to asu league on tulum beach because it's so freaking pretty
but one of the things to know that's new since the last time i was there in december 2020
is that now they charge for the museum it's ten dollars to get in which is totally reasonable
but in this video i'm trying very very hard to share with you just the new things that i
discovered and things that you haven't seen in my other videos because there's a lot of them
link in the description below to that but there is something new i discovered
which is going upstairs and having drinks and there's a few helpful tips here
one is at the time in which i visited again we're talking about august 2021
you line up at 5 00 pm to be able to go in because they're limiting the number
of people that are allowed to go up there and you can't do reservations obviously if you're
doing dinner yeah you can make reservations and you're all set on that front but if you're
just coming for drinks like i did then you just line up at 5 p.m and i did have to go back twice
because the first time that i went i went at 6 00 p.m and by then they had already filled up
the price to get in is 600 pesos or around 30 and it does come with one drink which i
was surprised that's actually really great value but each drink was around 380 pesos or around 17.
one of the cool things about coming up here is the big nets that you always see on instagram
and i would say walking on it not only is awkward but if you're like me and you're afraid of heights
don't drop your phone don't drop your phone down there do you see how sweaty i am
jaguar is some for real tulum vibes you are dining out in the jungle and it's just a beautiful
setting i really enjoyed this dinner here and i'm gonna be totally honest in that i thought that
this dinner was gonna cost me an arm and a leg for all the food that you saw here and that whole fish
is the dish that they're known for which was very very delicious all the food was fantastic
but sharing all of these dishes plus having a couple glasses of wine only cost me fifty dollars
all in per person that is which is significantly less than i thought
there are a lot of other restaurants on the beach that are equally amazing and
significantly more expensive but i was really happy with this experience
but let's get off of tulum beach because there's a lot of seaweed anyway
which if you want more info about the seaweed i have a full video about that
a lot of people ask me would you still recommend tulum anyway and absolutely yes to learn for me
is not just about the beach that's just a small sliver of what tulum is to me there's so many
other adventures to be had like this next one i discovered the cenote that's in south blue beach
i was recently told there was a cenote at the end of the beach road i always think of the closest
cenotes here being like calibera grand cenote and then going over like dozojos and stuff but
there's a cenote here and i love kayaking
the restaurant is an awesome place to spend the day at and obviously the museum
oh it's so pretty no no my friends we are not heading back to azer lake on tulum beach we are
heading to their location in the jungle which if you're looking for less of a crowd and yet another
beautiful stunning jungle space this is your spot to go to in case you're curious
how far out of tulum this is uh let's talk about let's talk about this just take a look at that
this nice paved highway and yes it is a trek to get out there one helpful thing they don't
actually have a wine list they have a really awesome selection of wine bottles a couple
things by the glass at 350 pesos a pop which is not bad for this beautiful beautiful space
i'm so excited to have a drink and enjoy this both this as a week and the other
location i did live streams from link in the description below if you want to check this out
i got to explore a new cenote that was so beautiful i was at casa tortugas which is home
to three different cenotes and the cenote i was at was cenote tris zapotes and not only did i get
to explore it but i got to explore it it was so much fun to have an afternoon of mermaiding with
carmen the tulum mermaid link in description below if you want to see the full video of
me learning to mermaid and how you can make the experience yours as well but it was a really fun
new experience that i definitely recommend you need to know how to swim to be able to do this
oh my gosh i love this place oh i hate so many tacos you know
it's good if you order tacos right after you order tacos
i'm so full i'm so glad i have a scooter and not a bike but i don't know if you
saw what happened back there i tried to pay with card because they do accept cards but
today their wi-fi is down that is a totally typical thing in tulum and it's totally fine
but it means that they can't run my credit card without walking way down the beach road
and seeing if they can get connection and wi-fi so i just paid cash instead this is
not an abnormal thing it is a normal thing in tulum and that's why i always carry cash
in addition to my cards they did take us dollars you get a significantly worse exchange rate but
it doesn't matter because you have the option if you want it i always vote pain and pesos be smart
let's head about 25 minutes outside of tulum town and head to a new cenote which is cenote
which i got to go scuba diving there with one of my favorite divers mario ling description
below so you can find him and dive with him when you're in tulum so pretty in here
don't forget it's a jungle it's hot in here too mosquitoes got a new freshie right here
that's the new one for the collection but whether you're just coming here
to dive or to just enjoy it it's a really unique cenote because of the flowers and
because of the cool story behind it but it was a really beautiful new cenote to discover
yeah oh yeah that is boy grande thank you
diving i went and explored a new restaurant that i hadn't been to before which is on that main
drag in tulum town where all the bars and restaurants are located or at least a lot of
them but i had some really delicious ceviche and i would totally go back somewhere now
look at that stuff my face
can you see why i love tulum tell me in the comments below which adventure you might go
check out and right after tulum i went to bonaire in the caribbean and wow the mosquitoes in bonaire
they're worse than tulum if that's even possible i hope you had fun with me in this adventure i'm
christine and i'm here every week with new videos and i'll see you in the next picture
