Bring small bills
Many street vendors prefer cash and small notes make quick purchases easier; have change for tip and extra samples.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Three hours of walking and tasting in Tulum’s heat means sip water between stops to keep your appetite for every course.
Watch for spice levels
Ask vendors about chile heat — tacos and tamales vary widely in spice, so request milder versions if you’re sensitive.
Wear comfortable shoes
Expect short walks on uneven sidewalks and sandy patches between stops; low-profile walking shoes make the tour smoother.
