Located 4 km. south of Tulum on the road to Punta Allen.

Driving Directions

If you choose to drive from the Cancún airport, take the highway south until you reach the crossroads leading to the Tulum hotel zone, where you will turn left, heading toward the sea.

Riviera Bus

If you prefer a more economical method of traveling south from the airport to Copal, you can now take a bus to Playa del Carmen directly from the Cancún International Airport! The new Riviera bus line leaves the airport for Playa at 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:30, 11:45, 13:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:15, and 19:30 hrs. daily (about $6.50 usd. per person, 45 minutes). From Playa del Carmen, you can take either a first- or second-class bus to the Tulum pueblo (about $3.50 usd. per person, two or more hours). First class buses are faster than second class ones, as they do not make as many stops along the highway. Alongside the Tulum pueblo bus station you will find a taxi stop, where you can take a cab.

If you are arriving on a late flight, it is recommended that you take a shuttle to Nohoch Tunich, as the ride is much shorter (one and a half hours, as opposed to more than three if you miss the last Riviera bus). If you are not able to take the Riviera bus directly to Playa del Carmen, you will have to take a combi (van) from the Cancún airport to the Cancún city bus terminal (about $8 usd. per person, one hour). From the bus station, you can take a first- or second-class bus directly to Tulum pueblo (about $3.50 usd. per person, two or more hours).
