"Beware of big spiders and mosquito's!!!!" Tulum Warnings Or Dangers Tip by wilocrek

Keep in mind that Tulum is a jungle out there and chances are you may run into a bit of the wildlife. I'm personally scared to death of spiders and the one's I've seen in this area had me frozen with fear. Them sucker's are bigger than my hand and hairy too boot. To be honest I have only seen five of them in my three visits to the area but if your afraid of spiders its something to be aware of, specifically if your staying in one of the more rustic beach cabana's. I had one rather hair raising experience of sitting on the toilet in the open air shared bath facilities of my cabana and having the misfortune to look up at the thatched roof and was greeted with the sight of a massive tarantula playing peek a boo. The mosquito's are the real thing to watch out for. They are insatiable in their quest to suck you dry and leave you scratching at yourself like you were a leper. Bring lots of Deet Mosquito spray and lather yourself with it. Also bring anti-itch cream as no matter what precautions you take you will get bit here and there so be prepared!
