Tulum’s cutting-edge Felipe Carrillo International Airport is expected to officially open this December, paving the way for greater regional and global connectivity. The modern airport is designed to handle millions of travelers each year, and will make reaching Tulum a breeze.
Next year, travelers will have several options to reach Tulum. Visitors arriving in Cancun will benefit from the new Maya Train, which will significantly cut down on travel times. For now, travelers still have to rely on costly private transfers, which can set visitors back over $100 one-way.
