7 Days in Tulum, Mexico: The Best Cenotes, Ruins, & Things To-Do
In this week's episode the Travel Squad Podcast is taking you with us on our Tulum vacation where we spent a full week exploring the best cenotes in Tulum, walking amongst the ancient Mayan ruins in, eating endless tacos, ceviche, enjoying our cerveza's and margarita's while lounging on the beach, as well as exploring nearby Bacalar, known as the Maldives of Mexico
On this trip to Tulum Mexico we explored four different cenotes and three different ruin cites including the famous Chichen Itza. After spending a full week here, we’re able to give you the insider tips on the best things to do in Tulum that are worth the money, so you can plan and maximize your own Tulum trip!
Of all the many beach vacation spots in Mexico, we can highly recommend this one! Yes, it is a bit more expensive and a bit more crowded than other places in the country, but for good reason!
DO NOTE: This episode was recorded before the completion and opening of the new airport in Tulum. We do mention that you need to fly into Cancun, Mexico, as that was the closest airport at the time. As of December 2023, the Tulum airport if open for commercial flights and is an option to use that lands you closer to Tulum.

Exploring All of Yellowstone National Park's Highlights
This weeks Travel Throwback episode is taking you all the way back to Episode 57: Exploring Yellowstone National Park.
This episode is an "oldie but goodie", and features O.G. Squad member Zeina. Spring is here and it's the perfect time to start planning that spring trip to Yellowstone for this travel season or next.
Spring is a magical time to visit this park since there is still still snow, but not too much to prevent you accessing certain sights and parts of the park that are closed due to road closures from the snow. Plus, this is the time all of the animals are out-and-about and being active coming off the harsh winter season, and that is why we know you will love and appreciate this Throwback Episode!
This episode picks up where we left off in Grand Teton National Park and continues on for three days of hiking and exploring Yellowstone National Park. In America’s first and most iconic national park, we give you all the details on Yellowstone’s unique geological landscape, from beautiful colorful thermal pools, to magnificent geysers, to abundant wildlife, Yellowstone has so much to offer
Sights to See in Yellowstone National Park include:
. West Thumb Geyser Basin
. Old Faithful Geyser
. Upper Geyser Basin Loop to see Morning Glory Pool
. Grand Prismatic Spring
. Midway Geyser Basin to see Excelsior Geyser
. Opal Pool and Turquoise Pool
. Fairy Falls Trail to the Grand Prismatic View Point
. Mammoth Hot Springs Trails
. Roosevelt Arch
. Lamar Valley
. Hayden Valley
. Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
