Pyramid Power - TravelLady 1999 "Aren't we even going to stop in Cancún?" asked my college-age daughter Marcy as I signed the papers on a rental car at the Cancún airport. "Trust me," I said. "There's a lot more to Yucatán than Cancún."

THE TULUM RUINS: JUST ME AND THE MAYANS - lynnseldon.com I love the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The convenient combination of sun, sand, and crystal-clear surf never get old. But I also like the old side of the Yucatan, where the history of the Mayans can easily be explored from almost any peninsula base. Whether you're coming from a Cancun, Cozumel, a cruise ship, or somewhere else, it's easy to become one with the Mayans.

Camera Tips Always keep your film, tape, or computer disks out of the sun. Carry an extra supply of batteries, and be prepared to turn on your camera, camcorder, or laptop to prove to security personnel that the device is real. Always ask for hand inspection of film, which becomes clouded after successive exposures to airport X-ray machines, and keep videotapes and computer disks away from metal detectors.
Banks The closest banks to Tulum are located in Playa del Carmen. The majority have ATM machines and will issue cash advances on your credit or bankcard. Money exchange is available in Tulum in a "casa de cambio" or money exchange house (# 27 on the map). Dollars are accepted almost everywhere.
Crime There is little crime in Riviera Maya. In the tourist areas, you are generally safe late at night. Car break-ins are just about the only crime, especially around the shopping centers. So be sure to lock your door like you would back at home. Like any other beach resort, do not leave money or valuables unattended on the beach.
Taxis There are 2 main taxi stands. It is usually easy to find a taxi for hire in most locations. Prices should be posted and agreed upon before your journey.
