We love finding great people who do great things. Fernando, the owner of a catamaran in Tulum is one of those people, building interesting tours in Tulum that sustain the beauty and delicate eco-system that visitors find in Tulum. As a marine archeologist and trained boat cpatain, Fernando found his calling as a young boy and followed his dream to be a guide and navigator of the ocean, his real home and what he loves.

Catamaran Tours that take you into another dimension

This is not just another catamaran tour. We have all been on those tours, where you sail around, see some stuff, they fill you with beer and then drop you back at your hotel in hopes that you remember little of what you saw, or did. Cause there was little to see or little to learn. Those catamaran tours are over once you set foot on the Tulum beach at Casa de las Olas. the owner, Jimmy, has found a super passion catamaran owner and marine archeologist who will give you the historical ride of your life! Enter the Tulum ruins and the Sian Kaan, two of Tulum’s most treasured attractions. Throw in the second largest barrier reef in the world, some fishing, snorkeling and great information, and you have it! One of the most fun and informative tours that looks after the ocean, the mangroves, the beach and the fish. You can see but you can not touch! Fernando will let you know that his tour is a sustainable tour where people get to learn, experience and share in the ocean without leaving a trace!

Catamaran tour details

The tours are fluid, meaning Fernando will fit into your schedule, you dont have to fit into his, weather permitting and enthusiasm alive! If you want to check out Tulum from a different perspective while staying at Casa de las Olas, check at your time of reservation for a day that works for you, book your tour and be flexible. If the ocean is not cooperating, it may have to be another day. If you prefer a sunset cruise, Fernando is up for it. If you prefer an early morning cruise before anyone is up, it can be arranged. No matter which day you go or at what hour, you will get not only a great catamaran ride but share in the knowledge of this seasoned historian and marine captain that knows the waters of the Mexican Caribbean better than the back of his hand.

Check out the sustainable practices at Casa de las Olas, and see if this sustainable development property is best for your next vacation.

Navigating Tulum for the new visitor can be a bit tough. Knowing the best transportation options on your first visit even tougher. What is the best transportation option for your Tulum vacation? What are the transportation options in Tulum? Knowing your options first is the best way to make the decision and knowing where you Tulum hotel is the second way to help make this decision. The final criteria is what do you want to do on your Tulum vacation?Putit all together and you will find the best option for you!

Understand Tulum first before you make your transportation decisions

Tulum is bordered by ocean, jungle, mangroves and lagoons. This eco-diversity has forced the urban planning of this beach town. Unlike other cities in the Riviera Maya, Tulum does not have various roads to the beach and does not have city streets that run from the beach to the city center. There are three very distinct areas that are known as Tulum with each area separated by over 3 kms of unwalkable jungle or mangrove. There is one road down to the beach and one coastal road that runs horizontal to the beach for 14 kms.

The first area you will hit when you come into the town of Tulum is the Tulum ruins, this is the farthest point to the north. 3 kms later you will approach the Tulum beach road, the only road that leads to the hotels and restaurants located on the beach. If you continue on for one more kilometer you will reach the center of downtown Tulum, with all shops located on the highway and residential areas tucked in off the highway for about 4 blocks both east and west. If you are going to the beach, the beach road is 3 kms from the main highway to the Tulum coastal road. All beachfront hotels and restaurants are located on this one road, both on the beach and jungle sides with little community pockets located along the way.

Determine the best transportation that will provide you with flexibility.

There are four transportation options in Tulum, bicycles, taxis, public transportation (buses and vans) and rental cars. Which option you choose will depend on where you are staying and what you want to do on vacation. If you are hoping for an adventure vacation that takes throughout Tulum and into the ruins, small Mayan pueblos, jungle and all the different food options that Tulum has to offer, you will want to rent a car. If you are looking for a vacation that has you disconnected from the world, with a lot of reading, beach walking and swimming, you may want to consider minimal transportation and rent bikes or cars by the day to get you out and about on one or two days. Public transport is fun but limited. It will get you where you need to go but on someone elses schedule not yours. Bikes are great and add a sense of freedom and casualness to your vacation, but be ready for a some heated moments in the middle of the day and long rides, which for some is what they are looking for.

Rental car options before arriving in Tulum or in Tulum

International rental car places are available at the Cancun international airport and are also in Tulum. Hertz, Avis, Executive and more can be reserved in advance, picked up at the Cancun airport or if you do not want to make the drive after a long flight, rental cars are easily arranged in the town of Tulum. Credit card and drivers license is required and you can rent by the day, or by the week. Prices are good and will change depending on the time of year of your visit. For busy seasons like Christmas and New Years, reserve in advance to guarantee you have a car on hold.

Bicycle rentals in Tulum

There are several bike rental options on the beach and in the town of Tulum. Check with your hotel and see if they rent bikes or have bikes for their guests. More and more hotels are offering bicycle options for their guests as an easy means of transportation and an eco-friendly option for transportation. Bike rentals are by the day or week and most are beach cruiser bikes. If a bike is what you plan on using, bring a flashlight are armband reflectors so cars can see you at night.

Public transportation in Tulum

The bus terminal is located in downtown Tulum. Buses leave from the Cancun international airport a few times a day. The trip is direct with a few little stops on the highway in small towns and takes about 2 to 2.5 hours. Once you arrive in Tulum, a taxi will be needed to get you to beachfront hotels. Public buses are fully equipped with movies, comfortable seats, air conditioning and more. They are a great way to travel if you are okay to follow their schedule. Buses also go to all major ruin sites, other cities and more! If you are looking to go to a closer destination like the Tulum ruins, Xel-ha, or the Muyil Ruins, you can hop on a public van, called a collectivo, that will take you to your destination with multiple stops on the way. Collectivos travel up and down the highway from Tulum to Playa del Carmen or south to Felippe Carillo Puerto and all you need to do is wave one down on the highway, and tell the driver where you need to be dropped off.

Tulum is a fun city to travel around in and your transportation choices will add a different flavor to your vacation. No one can suggest the best option for you, your choice will depend on your vacation ideas, your budget and your sense of adventure. Most visitors opt out for a rental car as they love the freedom that this option provides. But, many love the adventure of bikes, public transport and even taxis.

Which option do you prefer when in Tulum?

7 reasons to visit Tulum, Mexico and the surrounding Mayan Riviera

Christina Holmes Photography 2012

1. Great weather – While other countries have been experiencing some of the worst weather of their lives, Tulum and the Mayan Riviera has been experiencing some of the best weather we have had in years! Humidity is lower, the sun is shining, the evenings are cooler and the days are great for the beach, for outdoor activities and just plan old fun. get out of the early winter and come for some natural sunshine and outdoor play!

2. Cultural experiences – Mayan tours, mayan rituals, in-depth learning in natural medicinal practices and spa treatments, Spanish language, folk art, the list goes on and on. With the boost to the Mayan culture centered around the end of the Mayan calendar December 21, 2012, there are more educational tours and insights into this indigenous community. Check out a new local tour by Ojos Mayas (mayan eyes) that takes you into the heart of a Mayan community and shares the ancient traditions of the Mayas.This is a cooperative so you are giving back to the families directly, not a large tour company! Yah!

3. Foodies Unite! There is no where on the planet that you can find diversity of this kind in a small little village. Local, national and international chefs are using the local ingredients and ancient practices to inspire their menus and locations. Every single restaurant, food cart, hole in the wall is different. Each chef and cook puts their personal inspiration into their recipes and meals. It is sometimes referred to as a mini-new York, with out the New York prices and in most cases better! There is a reason why all the big name food magazines are checking out Tulum, the food is great!

4. Sustainable tourism – in the heart of the jungle, on the shores of the ocean and in the depths of fresh water lagoons. Tulum borders a diverse eco system that is perfect for outdoor adventures with the assistance of local guides. Hotels and accommodations need to focus on renewal energy. Recycling, composting and indigenous plants are a way of life. People who live here, care, and practice sustainable development to keep it that way.

5. Super nice international community – no matter what language you speak, there will be someone who speaks your language. Some local businesses have staff and owners who know multiple languages, some prefer international sign language that is understood by all. No matter what you do, where you go, or who you meet, People are helpful, nice, gracious and just want you to have a great time. It is international in Tulum with a respect for the indigenous cultures that live in the area harmoniously with others.

6. Beach, beach, beach – This is the first reason why so many visitors live Tulum, the beautiful white sandy beaches that line the coast of this beach town. The Caribbean is on their door step, the sand is the finest they have ever seen, but visitor also discover that there is more to the beach in Tulum. This is the hidden secret that visitors find out, this is the deep secret of Tulum. The beach is one of the best but the other surprises, treasures, gifts you receive is much more than the beach. But a visit is the only way to find that one out!

7. Local, local, local – Tulum is all about being and acting local, no matter where you are. The delight of this small city is the amount of small businesses that make it tick. Local businesses support one another, the philosophy of helping and supporting ones neighbour while highlighting the benefits that the town of Tulum and its residents provide is rampant. If you want to feel a part of a community this is the place to be!

Tulum tip for new visitors – Sustainability

If there is one tip that we can offer new visitors to the area we would say prepare and purchase sustainable products for your vacation. Tulum is surrounded by a very delicate eco-system and most businesses respect and preserve the environment to ensure that Tulum remains as a sustainable location with diverse things to do and see.

Preparation for your Tulum vacation would be purchasing the following:

1. Biodegradable sun screen and suntan lotions

2. Eco-friendly mosquito spray just in case

3. Environmentally friendly shampoos and conditioners (your accommodations may supply so inquire)

The town of Tulum sits between cenotes, fresh water systems, and ocean. To the south there are miles of lagoons that house migrating birds and indigenous plants, animals and fish. Part of what makes Tulum special, magical and beautiful is this natural environment that sustains plants, people and animals. Preservation of this delicate eco-systems is our priority and we like to think it a priority for visitors as well.

Tulum stores have these items for purchase, but during the busy seasons, local vendors can not always keep up with the demand for these products. Additionally, we would love for people to know in advance that the greatest contribution you can make to the area and the planet is to purchase your products before you arrive and know the products that are best. Who needs to buy sun tan lotion twice? No one. It is easier to buy these items when planning for your Tulum vacation then try and source out the products once you see the need for these environmental saving solutions.

Keep Tulum a magical place through awareness, respect and planning

Tulum vacation activities involve the ocean, lagoons, cenotes, beaches and jungle. Whether you are relaxing on the beach or coming for an adventure vacation in the Sian Kaan or scuba diving in the cenotes, protecting the environment is all of our priorities. Beachfront villas take great measures to use sustainable building practices that provide guests with comfort and luxury. Local tours ensure that the environment is protected while people explore the area. Help us  to preserve the area with this simple Tulum travel tip!

Restaurants, stores and hotels line the Tulum beach road

Casa de las Olas is near the end of the Tulum beach road so all guests get the luxury of seeing every single detail this road has to offer. LIttle neighborhoods exist at about every two kilometers, this being a  group of restaurants and stores that seem to have gathered in one area and have formed a community of restaurant owners, servers and shop keepers who work together to highlight their unique area on the stretch.

These micro-communities seem to also have a theme to their unique area. It could be organic and sustainable products or art and clothes or just a group of interesting food options through small corner stores and restaurants.

Jungle and Cenotes on the Tulum beach road

When you see the videos below the most interesting landscape on the Tulum beach road is the jungle and cenotes that line each side of the road. The ocean is about 100 meters rom the road but the jungle covers that view in most cases so the visitor has no idea that what behind the palm trees and plants is the Mexican Caribbean. There is one little area that has a spectacular view of the Caribbean about 2.5 kms down the road. There are two cenotes that visitors can visit, one at around 6 kms and one at 10.5 kms.Both of there cenotes have a fresh and salt water mix and are mangrove cenotes.

What you need to know when driving the Tulum beach road

1. The entire road is paved up to the Sian Kaan gates

2. There are various unidentified speed bumps all along the road so drive slowly. They will pop up when you least expect it. In spanish speed bumps are called topes.

3. Watch for bicycles, walkers and motorbikes. Watch for poorly parked cars on the side of the road.

4. Watch out for the blue crabs that run across the road, all, the, time.These little creatures can be in packs or solo so drive slowly so you can stop and let them cross.

5. Watch for neighbourhood dogs that seem to think that they own the road. It is no unusual to see a dog in the middle of the road, hanging out.

6. Watch for oversized trucks. Deliveries happen all day long and though the road is a two lane road, it is wide enough for two small cars, not a large delivery truck and car so be aware of these oversized vehicles.

The Tulum beach road is a forever memory for many guests and a daily drive for us. It is hip, chic and fun, safe, eclectic and interesting. There are few places where industry works so well with jungle and cenotes but the Tulum beach has found a way to do.

Tulum beach road Videos – Enjoy!

Mother turtles generally lay their eggs in the evening and early hours of the morning when no one is around. Who would want to be disturbed as you were popping out hundreds of eggs! Not me. This series of videos shows the mother turtle making her nest, and going back to the ocean once her business is done.

Magical really and out of this world. This is why we find it critical to maintain a sustainable development property at Casa de las Olas year round. If we did not do this then these magical moments and the turtles would – disappear – poof!

Keep it real!

This is a favorite pastime and it would be a shame not share. If you are up for an all natural spa day while on vacation in Tulum, we have the process and Tulum stores have the products. In total all of these natural products may cost you 10 usd and there is enough for about 5 spa treatments! Massages are not included, this would have to be done by a certified masseuse but man will your skin feel and look great!

Products needed for your natural beach spa

Before you arrive in at Casa de las Olas or if you want to take a quick trip into town to gather all of these needed supplies, pick up the following items for your full body spa exfoliation.

1. Natural honey – get a bigger bottle in case you end up wanting some for your tea

2. Full grain sugar

3. avocados – buy some super ripe ones about 4

4. Sea salt in its natural form (not the processed you can buy rock sea salt in a bag for 5 pesos!)

5. Baking soda

Head to the beach and get ready for the spa treatment of your life!

Admittedly this is best done in the middle of the day when your pores are open and you have been sweating! Go into the ocean and get wet! Go back to the shore and take the Tulum beach sand and rub your entire body with the sand, you you heard my right, entire body with the fine and beautiful sand of Tulum. Give yourslef a good scrub, ankles, stomach, back, legs and your face. Dive back into the water and get rid of the sand. You will start to feel the difference already.

Go back to the beach and mix the honey with the sea salt and sugar. It should be a paste when you are done. Now rub this mixture all over your body, just like you did the sand and you will start to replace some much needed minerals back into your skin. Your skin is your largest organ so anything that you put on your skin will help your entire body, inside and out.

Run back to the ocean and rinse off your second exfoliation. Now your skin is feeling even better! rinse well and go back to the beach for your final cleaning and moisturizing.

Open the avocado and mush it in your hands. The mushed meat of the avocado is then smeared onto your skin. If you want to put some in your hair as well as it has been getting dry from the sun, go for it! It is great for your body and hair. Wait until the avocado dries, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stand on the beach, it is not recommended to lie on your towel as avocado can stain a bit. Your bathing suit is fine, the towel and beach chairs should be avoided if you have put the fruit on the front and back of your body.

Once dry, dive back into the ocean and rinse the avocado off. Sily may come to mind, moisturized will definately come to mind, smooth as a babies bottom will cross your mind as well. To finish things off, take the baking soda and do a final exfoliation on your face, the fine texture and of the baking soda and the natural chemical make-up of this product will do a fine exfoliation of your face, the dirt that accumulates in your pores and will is used as a finishing agent.

Your body has never felt this good and a spa treatment has never cost so little!

One key portion of this exfoliation is the ocean water. The natural minerals in the ocean helps to rebuild your skin and body. YOu can do this treatment at home in your shower or in your bath tub, it just is not as much fun and the ocean will not be coming through your shower head to give you that extra boost of minerals.

When you do this treatment, there is no harm to the ocean as all ingredients are natural. The ingredients are so inexpensive in Tulum as they are readily available in local fruit stands and corner stores it is really quite incredible. If you do this every day, you will stimulate our most unstimulated organ, our skin. If you want to feel great on vacaton give this a try. This natural exfoliation spa is easy to do, easy to source ingredients and compliments your beach vacation in Tulum!

We have talked about having an electronic detox on your holiday, putting away your smart phone, closing the computer, turning off the phone and stepping away from those gadgets that we seem to gravitate to every second, it is not minutes these days, our addiction to our gadgets are now reaching the seconds not the minutes. What we love about Tulum is the electronic detox, but add in an easy physical detox and you will feel like a million bucks when you return home.

Use your vacation to alkaline your body as an easy detox method

Our bodies natural ph balance is 7.35 to 7.45, which is the optimal ph level for good health and a well-functioning physical body including organs, heart, thyroid, lymphoid and all physical body parts that make us, us. If you are below 7.35 to 0 then your body is more acidic, a state that can bring on complicated health issues. If you are above 7.45 to 14 then your body is alkaline, a state that is not as damaging as an acidic body but not in balance.

What makes your body acidic

It is easy to measure your ph level with ph strips that can be purchased at any health food store. It is best to measure your ph level at the same time during the day, morning is prefered and through a urine sample not a saliva sample. The foods we eat can create a highly acidic environment in our mouth, but not a clear indication of what is happening in your body. So here is the news, coffee, stress, alcohol, cigarettes, white starches, sugar and meats create an acidic body. Yup, those are the goods. Some foods create a more acidic environment than others, so you are not completely washed up, but these are the little culprits.

How to Detox your body while on vacation in Tulum

The good news is, fruits and vegetables, mainly very colourful fruits and vegetables help to bring a highly acid body closer to a balance ph level. If you are highly alkaline, Tulum is the right place to be as well, coffee, chocolate and some exercise will help to bring that alkaline body to a more balanced ph level.

We do have a buy local philosophy and in Tulum, Mexico it is the only way to shop! Fresh tropical fruits are on every street corner, papaya, pineapple, dragon fruit, watermelon, lime, melons, coconut, are all fruits that are alkalining fruits that can take a highly acid body and turn it into a more ph neutral body. Add local vegetables like spinach, brocoli, beets, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, garlic, onions and tomato and you have the basic mexican diet in a nut shell. COntinue to add condiments like chili peppers, cinnamon, garlic, coriander/cilantro and I am feeling a great pico de gallo coming on.

Mexican foods that will help to detox your body while on vacation in Tulum

If you choose some basic mexican foods for your lunch and dinner meals, have a tropical food salad with almonds and pumpkin seeds (pepitas) each morning and though hard to do on your vacation keep your alcohol intake to a minimum with fresh juices and green juices as your daily drink, you will be well on your way to cleaning out the acid in your body and getting well while you sleep, hang out in the ocean, tour the Mayan ruins and just take it easy.

If you are highly alkaline, and many people are tipping over the other end of the ph scale, party it up and drink more coffee, beer, alcohol and meat! Dig in to some great tacos, enjoy mexican corn, have lots of beans and rice and get your body closer to a balanced ph level then a highly alkaline level.Try some of Tulum’s more extreme sports like kiteboarding, cenote diving, scuba diving or climb the castle at the Coba ruins. Get your stress level up a bit and balance things out!

Why detox your body while on vacation?

Vacations give you a great change in pace, place and mental awareness. Changing your eating habits is natural while on vacation as your out of your routine and experiencing a different culture. research the foods that could change your ph balance before you arrive in Mexico and see how you feel at the end of your vacation. More relaxed, less uptight, things are flowing and your feel energized. Having fresh foods grown and bought locally, picked straight from the tree or straight from the plant at their height of ripeness is the best way to fuel your body and get minerals and vitamins into you. Shipped foods, or seasonal foods limit you on what you can eat. Mexico has a 365 day growing season so all of the alkaline forming foods are ready every day for you to eat. Try and find fresh foods throughout the year as sweet delicious and fresh as you get in the markets in Tulum! Try and find a freshly pick coconut, opened on the spot from one of the many coconut trees on the property at Casa de las Olas. Not happening in a store up north.

Vacations are a time to experience something new, open your world up a little bit more, take the daily routine out of the daily routine and in this case will start new rituals that are great for your body, and great for your soul!

Buying locally and eating locally in Tulum will get you that much closer to a cleaner and healthier body so you can tackle the grind better when you return. Having organic coconuts from a coconut tree that lives on the beaches of Tulum, heaven. If you want to further your detox, check out our Tulum yoga retreat at the end of the month.

Ummm…you will be hard pressed to find something better than this, a yoga retreat on the beaches of Tulum, Mexico with all rooms facing the ocean, a guest yoga teacher from New York, at the end of the summer, as the rest of North America starts to get a chill in the air and the grind at work gets just a bit…..grindier.

For us summer really never ends, so we decided to spread the weather cheer and share our weather with yoginis who need that last 5 day blast of yoga before they settle in for the winter…or at least for the fall months. Rebecca Jo from Brooklyn, New York will be leading this 5 day retreat at Casa de las Olas from September 28 to October 3, 2012 on the pristine (and really our beaches are pristine) Tulum beach. Enjoy 10 yoga classes over 5 days, a collective first night dinner at the villa, breakfast, lunch and for the early birds, sunrise meditations facing the Caribbean ocean each morning.

Rebecca Jo will provide that Endless Summer you are looking for!

We all know that the summer makes us feel great. The sun, the activities, the vacations, family get -togethers, community festivals, all of this happens during the summer months. Rebecca Jo has designed her yoga retreat to provide you with all of this and some in Tulum with her yoga classes at Casa de las Olas. Summer will end in most areas of North America, but with 10 yoga classes and her direction in personal classes if you choose this option, summer will last just that much longer even after you return home.

Rebecca Jo uses the basis of Hatha yoga to design her classes. Depending on our students and participants, the classes will adapt to the skill level of our guests and yoginis. Her speciality is injury repair, but you can use this retreat as injury prevention. If you are looking to avoid injuries, this is the place to be.

Rebecca Jo began practicing yoga after suffering a back injury due to a car accident. The ability yoga gave her to reinvigorate her body after injury versus living in pain inspired her to undergo training to become a yoga instructor. As a former gymnast, yoga appealed to her physical sensibilities immediately, but it was the effects on her mental space that she found the most profound. As awareness grew she began to sense on a deeper level how to move more efficiently, relaxing years of tension, calming anxiety and freeing up energy to enjoy living again.

Rebecca Jo teaches in Brooklyn at various yoga studios and conducts private classes to many students overcoming injury. She guides students through the process of recovery as she has done for herself, a method that has taken her from inactivity to yoga teacher.
