The most popular time to visit Tulum is during the dry season, from November to April. This period offers warm, pleasant weather, ideal for beachgoers, snorkelers, and history buffs alike. With daytime temperatures hovering between 70°F and 80°F (21°C to 27°C), visitors can enjoy Tulum’s many attractions without the sweltering heat or unpredictable rainstorms that come later in the year. December to February: These months mark the peak tourist season, as many visitors flock to Tulum to escape colder climates. The warm and dry weather makes it perfect for lounging on the beach or visiting nearby ruins, like the famous Tulum Archaeological Zone or the expansive Cobá ruins. However, this is also when Tulum experiences its highest hotel rates and the largest crowds, so booking accommodations well in advance is essential.

March to April: As winter fades into spring, Tulum draws visitors, particularly during spring break. March can be an exciting time to visit if you’re looking for a lively atmosphere, especially around Tulum’s beach clubs and nightlife. On the other hand, April offers a more tranquil vibe as the spring breakers head home, and the heat has not yet peaked.
