Hands down my favorite dinner place to eat in Tulum! Super special, very romantic, incredible food in the heart of the jungle. Go at 6pm or wait for a table. You can sit and have drinks while you wait. Highly recommended!

I love this place right in the heart of downtown Tulum for a casual dinner. The menu is not strictly vegetarian. There are plenty of meat and fish options. Everything is yummy, plus they have great fresh juices and smoothies. They keep weird hours, I think they're closed on Thursdays.

Parks & Nature
This is an over an hour away in the colonial town of Villadolid which is also very photogenic. A great day trip with a lot of shopping spots along the way. This cenote is probably the most photogenic and dreamy, surrounded by lush jungle.

Walk out the front door and head up to the snorkeling beach. You can rent snorkel gear for about $15. The seat turtles are usually hanging out in the swim area. No need for guides or groups, sometimes you don't even need the snorkel gear, they swim right up to you!
