Seeing the Mayan Ruins in Tulum is almost a given, and is one of Tulum's major tourist draws. The best tip for visiting the ruins though is to bring your swimsuit! The famed Mayan ruins sit on a cliff, overlooking the sea, so it's a great place to not only learn about Mayan history and watch the ancient story of the Mayans take life, but hit the beautiful beach! The ruins are actually the remnants of a walled city, and local tour guides will be happy to take you around and explain what each building served as during its heyday. You'll get to see where the crops were planted and where kings were buried.

There are tons of merchants selling little trinkets and keepsakes at the Mayan Ruins so remember the following tip: haggle, haggle, and haggle! Shopping as a tourist in Mexico should be approached from the perspective of haggling. Tourist destinations usually overprice the items that they sell so start at 40% or half of the price offered, and work your way up. Also, know when to walk away; walking away can usually help you close on the price that you seek. This haggling trick also works well when bargaining in Middle Eastern countries.

If you're near the entrance of the Mayan ruins, you might be able to chance across the Voladores, a group of five men wearing traditional costumes and perform a traditional fertility celebration from 500 AD. The five men climb up a tall pole, then with a rope attached to one of their ankles, jump and swing upside down from over 60 ft in the air-yikes! While it's technically free to watch, you'll most likely be solicited for a donation if you come close or attempt to take a picture. If you don't mind parting with a few pesos, then snap away. It's quite a sight to see!

Have you ever wanted to swim or dive in an underwater cave? Gran Cenote then has got to be next on your itinerary! This small, underground cave is perfect for swimming, scuba diving or snorkeling. The cave is extraordinarily lovely, with stalactite and stalagmite formations. There are also very cool things to do above the caves, such as zip lining and rappelling. It's the perfect way to spend the day and this is all in the middle of the jungle, mind you!

Make sure you don't forget to visit the beach in Tulum. The ancient Mayans actually thought that this water was holy, and many agree that it's among some of the best beaches that they've ever visited. The water is clean, warm, blue and salty and the views are legendary. The sunsets and sunrises are also breathtaking, so make sure you get to spot one.
