Tulum Map: Every Gate, Cenote and Beach in This Guide

Q: Do the pins show what each place costs?

Yes, where a body publishes a price: MX$265 at the ruins , MX$210 at Cobá , MX$400 at Dos Ojos . Where nobody publishes one — which is most cenotes around Tulum — the pin says so rather than repeating a figure from a blog. The fees index puts them all in one table.

This Tulum map puts everything the guide covers on one screen: the gates with the fee their own agency publishes, the four cenotes within a bicycle ride of the town, the public sand against the beach-club strip, and the four areas you might sleep in with what a night costs in each. Filter by colour, tap a pin for the price and the page behind it, or open any point in Google Maps and go. The wider picture is on the Tulum, Mexico city guide homepage.

Quick answer What the colours mean, and what the map is for

Twenty pins in five colours: ochre for the Maya sites, teal for cenotes, blue for the coast, dark green for the reserves and lagoons, grey-brown for the places you sleep and arrive. Every pin carries what that gate charges — or says plainly that nobody publishes a price — and links to the page that explains it.

Key takeaways

Three of the four cenotes here publish no price and take no cards, so the cenote index is where the cash rules are set out
The map is drawn to Tulum's own scale: Chichén Itzá, Valladolid and Bacalar are hours away and sit off it deliberately
The four sleeping areas carry their October median rate — where to stay compares them properly
Distances read short on a map and long on a bicycle: the beach road is four unlit kilometres from the town

The Map

Numbered pins, filterable by category. The list under the map is the same set in text, grouped the same way — every place links to its own page here and to Google Maps for directions.

Pin positions come from each page's published coordinates where an agency publishes them, and from OpenStreetMap for the cenotes, beaches and neighbourhoods that no authority maps. Fees are the official 2026 figures read on 29 August 2026; room medians are Google Hotels for a midweek night in October. The Sian Ka'an pin marks the reserve's northern gate rather than its centroid, so the map keeps Tulum's own scale. Checked 30 August 2026.

Using this map

How far apart is everything in Tulum?

The ruins, the town and the beach road sit inside a five-kilometre triangle, and the cenotes on the Cobá road are within eight kilometres of the town — bicycle distance. Everything else is a drive: Cobá is 45 minutes, Akumal 25, the Sian Ka'an gate about an hour. Getting around sets out what each of those costs by colectivo and by taxi.

Why are Chichén Itzá and Bacalar not on this map?

Because putting them on it would zoom the map out until Tulum itself became three pins. They are hours away and are compared on the day-trips page instead — Chichén Itzá is twelve hours door to door, Bacalar three hours each way and better as an overnight.

Do the pins show what each place costs?

Yes, where a body publishes a price: MX$265 at the ruins, MX$210 at Cobá, MX$400 at Dos Ojos. Where nobody publishes one — which is most cenotes around Tulum — the pin says so rather than repeating a figure from a blog. The fees index puts them all in one table.

Can I open these places in my own maps app?

Every pin has a Google Maps link, in the popup and in the list under the map. It opens that exact coordinate, so navigation starts from wherever you are standing.
