The Tulum City Guides settle the questions every visitor brings: where to eat well in the pueblo instead of paying beach-road prices, which cenotes deserve your morning, how to reach the ruins ahead of the crowds and where the evening goes once the sun sets over the jungle. Each guide is a short list with a clear point of view, giving the reason to go, the area and a practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Cetli
Tulum-Cobá road, 2.5 km from the centre
Home-style Mexican cooking in an elegant dining room: deep, dark moles, chiles and stuffed pumpkin. It has earned a mention from Michelin and still charges much less than the beach-road kitchens. From the food guide.
Cenote Taak Bi Ha
Dos Ojos road, 20 km north of Tulum
Wooden stairs lead down into a lamplit cave of blue water hung with stalactites. It is small and usually calm, and the bumpy dirt road is fine for an ordinary car. From the things to do guide.
Muuyal Rooftop
Aldea Zama
A little rooftop with a pool and hammocks looking out over the treetops. Happy-hour margaritas and nachos make it one of the cheaper ways to watch the sun go down. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Tulum
Day one: the ruins at opening time, a swim at Playa Ruinas or Playa Paraíso, a cheap taco lunch in town and sunset on a rooftop. Day two: two cenotes on the Cobá road in the morning, the Cobá ruins after lunch and dinner at a fire-grill table on the beach road. For a rainy or slow day, take a guided swim through the Sac Actún caves, give the Museo Regional an hour and end with cane-juice mojitos and live music at Batey.
