48 Hours in Tulum: Ruins, Jungle Stays & Hidden Gems

Experience the best of Tulum in just 48 hours! From exploring ancient ruins to savoring authentic Mexican flavors and staying in serene jungle retreats, this video is your ultimate guide to Tulum’s top hidden gems. 🌴✨

We kick off our journey with an unforgettable stay at Jungle Cabins, a tranquil escape nestled in the lush jungle just outside downtown Tulum. Perfect for families, this peaceful retreat offered us cozy accommodations, a refreshing pool, and easy access to the area's top attractions.

Next, we step back in time at the Tulum Ruins, an ancient Maya settlement perched on a dramatic bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. We marveled at the stunning El Castillo, the Temple of the Descending God, and the Temple of the Frescoes, all while soaking in breathtaking views of turquoise waters.

Our culinary adventures took us to:

Taqueria Honorio: A local favorite famous for its tender Cochinita Pibil and flavorful Chilaquiles.
Casa Empanada: This charming eatery impressed us with its innovative empanadas, including BBQ Rib with Jack Daniels Sauce and Gourmet Pear, Bacon, and Blue Cheese.
We also uncovered the truth behind Mr. Beast’s viral claim about a “dump” in Tulum that cost only a dollar. Was it really a dump, or did he miss a hidden gem? Watch to find out!
