Direct Flights to Tulum Coming Soon!

Going to Tulum is about to get a lot easier!

Up until now, to get to Tulum, you had to fly to Cancun first. Then, you’d have to get a ride to Tulum from the airport. The drive to Tulum from the Cancun airport is about 1.5 hours.

Thankfully, the Tulum Airport will finally be open this December! You’ll soon be able to get direct flights to this popular tourist destination, so you’ll be able to make the most of your vacation.
