Top Nature in Quintana Roo

I recommend hitting the park right when it opens at 8 AM. The crowds are way less, and you can enjoy the views without all the selfies blocking your way!

I think you should wear comfy shoes. There’s a lot of walking and some uneven paths, so don’t ruin your day with blisters!

I suggest checking out the lesser-known ruins first before the main ones. They’re just as beautiful but with a lot fewer people. You’ll get some amazing pics!

My advice is to bring your own water and snacks. The prices inside the park can be a bit steep, so save some cash by packing your own.

Look out for local vendors selling fresh coconut water. It’s super refreshing and much cheaper than the drinks on the beach. Bonus – you can ask them to chop it open for you!

Don't forget to bring your own water and snacks! I was shocked at how pricey the beachside amenities were; totally worth saving some cash.

I recommend hitting the beach early, around 8 AM before the crowds show up. You get the best spot and can enjoy the sunrise too!

My advice is to wander around the area a bit. The nearby shops have some unique souvenirs that aren't sold in the tourist traps nearby.

My advice is to arrive by 8 AM to snag a good spot... The beach fills up fast, so if you want a nice view without the crowds, early bird definitely gets the worm!

For some great local food, head to a nearby taco stand after your beach day—better prices and tastier than the touristy spots around

Get there early, around 8 AM, to snag a good spot! It gets crowded as the day goes on, especially on weekends.

Get there right when they open at 9 AM. You’ll beat the crowds and have more time to enjoy the stunning views without feeling rushed.

Plan for at least two hours to fully enjoy swimming, exploring, and taking photos... I thought I could rush in and out but ended up wishing I had more time!

Don't forget water shoes! The rocky areas can be tough on bare feet, and trust me, you'll want comfortable footwear.

Bring a waterproof bag for your belongings. There are lockers, but it's much easier if your stuff is safe from splashes and water.

I suggest wearing water shoes. The sand is beautiful but there are some rocky areas in the water that can hurt your feet, trust me I learned the hard way!

I think checking out the seaweed reports before you head out can save you some disappointment. I visited when it was heavy and it definitely took away from the gorgeous views!

If you’re thinking about renting a spot with a beach bed, haggle a bit! I was quoted 300 pesos at first but got it down to 200 after a friendly chat. Don’t shy away from negotiating!

My advice is to go around 7 am. The sunrise is stunning and it's way less crowded then. You'll get those perfect beach pics without strangers photobombing you!

Try visiting right before sunset. The views are breathtaking and you’ll capture some amazing photos with fewer crowds around!

Check the schedule for free events like live music or performances. I stumbled upon a fantastic dance show, and it felt like a bonus to my day!
