Best events and things to do in Tulum in July

Top experiences in July
Take a cooking class to learn traditional Mayan recipes
July is a great time to delve into the rich culinary heritage of the Yucatan Peninsula by taking a cooking class that focuses on traditional Mayan cuisine. Learn how to prepare dishes using indigenous ingredients such as achiote, habanero peppers, and corn, and gain insight into the cultural significance of food in Mayan society. The class typically includes a visit to a local market to source fresh ingredients, as well as hands-on instruction from a knowledgeable chef.
Go snorkeling in the Gran Cenote
July is an ideal time to explore the crystal-clear waters of the Gran Cenote, a natural sinkhole that offers incredible visibility for snorkeling. Swim among stalactites and stalagmites, and marvel at the diverse marine life that inhabits this unique underground ecosystem. The cool, refreshing waters provide a welcome escape from the summer heat, and the otherworldly beauty of the cenote is truly unforgettable.
Explore the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve
July is the perfect time to visit this UNESCO World Heritage site, as the wetlands and mangroves are teeming with wildlife. Take a guided tour to spot exotic birds, manatees, and even jaguars in their natural habitat. You can also kayak through the crystal-clear waters of the reserve, marveling at the diverse ecosystems that make Sian Ka'an such a unique and important conservation area.
Participate in a temazcal ceremony
July is a great time to experience this traditional Mayan sweat lodge ritual, which is believed to purify the body and soul. Led by a shaman, the temazcal ceremony involves entering a small, steam-filled hut and engaging in prayer, meditation, and chanting. It's a deeply spiritual and cleansing experience that offers a unique insight into ancient Mayan traditions and beliefs.
Take a sunrise yoga class on the beach
July in Tulum offers warm, balmy mornings that are perfect for practicing yoga by the ocean. Many local studios and resorts offer sunrise yoga classes that allow you to salute the sun as it rises over the Caribbean Sea. It's a peaceful and rejuvenating way to start your day, and the stunning natural surroundings only enhance the experience.
