I rented a car to go to Tulum 10 yrs ago… easy. We are adventurous and not worrywarts about Mexican travels… is it still safe for three 50 something ladies?
Hello. The roads might be a bit better but they still have all the speed bumps. It is very safe driving on the roads. People feel weird about police checkpoints in Mexico but these are more about safety then anything. We do have current tips for driving here in this article. https://everythingplayadelcarmen.com/road-rules-driving-in-the-mexican-riviera/ We hope you ladies have fun exploring!
