PLANS Between tequilas: how to travel to Mexico without leaving Madrid
BEACHES The Mexican Pacific, between whales and hidden beaches
International travel is no longer the same
, or similar,
due to the pandemic
. International organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended that the population postpone these experiences from the first cases of coronavirus detected.
But the light is already seen at the end of the tunnel
and, at present, the restrictions continue with different regulations until the majority of citizens are fully vaccinated, since travel increases the probability of contracting and spreading Covid-19. However,
the desire to move away from the place of origin increases
and they manage to overcome fear.
Unlike other countries, to reach
Tulum, on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan peninsula
(Mexico), since the beginning of the health crisis, it did not require any type of test or certificate.
At the same time, flights (in many cases direct) were cheaper than ever.
Offers that came out economically the same as before the pandemic a trip to Gandía.
These reasons and the need to forget and disconnect (especially mentally) from so much bad news have made this
paradise of turquoise waters and Mayan ruins
become the favorite refuge of this 2021. We refer to the Instagram pictures.

Although Tulum is far from immunity, Spaniards like businesswoman and
influencer
Casandra Dodero
have chosen this destination even twice so far in 2021
.
"I knew this paradise long before the
boom
, when it was a more spiritual and unknown destination, without being so exploited, and more linked to a healthy life. A concept of
tuluminatis
linked to yoga that my sister showed me. But in a pandemic, when everything it was closed, it is true that there were two clearly more flexible places: Dubai and Tulum. Nowadays, with the information so accessible and more exposed in the networks, the Mexican destination became more known than ever and that motivated me to return ".

The first time that Dodero visited Tulum was in February 2021, and he already noticed a brutal presence of Spaniards. "
In the end it is a small town, and life is made mainly on a street,
so as your hotel is not well located you notice a lot of the bustle and it can take up to 40 minutes to get in and out on roads that look like the amusement park for the potholes. It is a place that is not yet so adapted to the tourism that is reaching them. "
The second, this past June, leaving the mark of his passage on his Instagram account, like many tourists who with their incredible photos of intense colors and, practically without wanting it, show off and convince other travelers in equal parts.
"
Tulum is very beautiful at an architectural level.
There are hotels made entirely in a natural way, among trees and nests, that is why it has that irresistible charm of wanting to share it in networks," he explains, after having stayed as if he lived in a tree.

Digital and vacation shelter
Teleworking has also driven the Tulum phenomenon and many people have moved there to live temporarily.
"Talking to boys and girls who came from other points they told us that they had stayed because
working digitally allowed them to enjoy a place with good weather
, where people are very friendly and in a pandemic they could be freer there. more similar to before the Covid, "says Casandra Dodero.

On vacation,
more than seven million posts
on Instagram under the
hashtag #tulum
determine the success of the destination.
And, as happens with every garment worn
by fashion
influencers
and it runs out, when you see what someone else is doing, you say to yourself that "what a beautiful destination, I also want to go there", corroborate Cristina Barbero and Ángel Amador, couple of travelers who have decided to spend their August break in Tulum.
"I had already visited Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, I really like the culture of Mexico and the people are lovely.
We have taken a very well-priced vacation package and the gastronomy and beaches are spectacular,
" slides Amador.

For his part, Barbero asserts that since May 31 he contacted an agency to reserve the place.
The pack, which does not reach 1,800 euros,
includes flights, transfers to the hotel, the all-inclusive and a Mexican party at the adults-only hotel where they are staying
.
"I thought about it since Christmas because I knew it was very good and I would repeat exactly the same trip as I did. From Spain you have very competitive prices, and this year it is a destination that does not require a PCR test to fly and it was a plus because it is more comfortable, added to the direct flight, also with always guaranteed good weather. It seems like an easy trip to me. "
