Higher Prices at Quintana Roo Archaeological Sites in 2026

Tulum, Quintana Roo — With the start of 2026, visiting the archaeological sites and historical museums of Quintana Roo will be considerably more expensive, following the implementation of increases that in some cases double the entry cost for the general public.

One of the most representative examples is Tulum, the most visited site in the state, whose access has been set at 210 pesos, while the price for national visitors and residents in the country will be 105 pesos. Similar changes were applied at other points of high tourist interest.

According to information that began circulating among tourist guides and travel agencies since the end of last year, the new prices are organized by categories, depending on the relevance and size of each site. The highest category includes sites such as Cobá, San Gervasio, Kohunlich, Xelhá, Xcaret (archaeological zone), as well as the Cancún Maya Museum and San Miguelito, all with a general fee of 210 pesos.

In a second level are Dzibanché-Kinichná and Chacchoben, whose access was set at 155 pesos for general visitors and 85 pesos for nationals. Meanwhile, sites such as Oxtankah, El Meco, El Rey, and Muyil were placed in a third category, with prices of 145 pesos and 80 pesos, respectively.

In addition to access, an additional charge of 63 pesos was established for the use of electronic devices such as photographic cameras or cell phones within the sites, while visits outside the usual hours will have a special cost of 730 pesos.

Although certain sectors of the population maintain free entry, such as senior citizens, minors, people with disabilities, and visitors with specific accreditations, the general increase has generated concern among tourism operators, who warn that the price hike could continue affecting visitor numbers, especially at sites that had already been recording a significant drop in visitors in recent years.

Faced with this scenario, some agencies and tourist guides have begun to seek alternatives to diversify their tours, after national and foreign tourists have expressed dissatisfaction with the new prices to access the state’s historical heritage.
