How long does it purloin to drive to Chichen Itza from Tulum?
I'm going to Tulum for my thirtieth birthday this august and I was thinking in the order of driving up to Chichen Itza for a day trip.
How far is it?
Is it worth the drive?
Answers: I'd agree beside the estimates that put the driving time around 2 hours. If you take the road that runs from Tulum to Valladolid (past the Coba ruins) and afterwards get on the 180 toll road to Chichen Itza you'll cut stale one of the toll booths so that will save you some dollars. (as opposing going north back towards the Cancun airport and hooking up beside the 180 that way).
It's worth the drive and if you only want to spend in the future going to ruins then that would be the one to dance see. If you are looking to spend a little more time rotten the resort and since you are renting a car, you may want to consider checking out Coba, Ek Balam or a cenote approaching Dzitnup near Valladolid or Ik kil in close proximity Chichen Itza to name a few. Lots to see within the area.
Guides at more popular ruins can be expensive (but collectively well worth it) so you should try to carry some more people to stuff you car and split on gas tolls and guides.
Enjoy. Below is a remarkably good site on the Yucatan State.
There are buses that be in motion every morning too...pick up pepole from the big hotels. you could ask at your hotel...would be cool and comfy and less stress. It's more or less 2 hours, and it's definitely worth the drive.
Go impulsive in the morning if you can, because it's going to be SUPER hot at hand during the day.
Bring money to take-home pay "tolls" (bribes) along the way.
Also, do not try to do this beside a hangover.
about 2 hours
