Tulum in March

March in Tulum offers a sweet spot between peak season crowds and the onset of hotter, more humid weather. The Riviera Maya's natural beauty, from the ancient Mayan ruins perched above the turquoise Caribbean Sea to the mystical cenotes hidden in the jungle, remains the primary draw.
