Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) announced that as of Monday, the parastatal company Mundo Maya (GAFSACOMM), a subsidiary of the Defense Ministry, will be responsible for collecting entry fees at the Tulum archaeological site for both Mexican and foreign visitors.
In a letter addressed to site officials, INAH Quintana Roo director Margarito Molina Rendón said the institute will continue selling tickets, but only through Mundo Maya’s ticket booths. The change follows a presidential decree published July 17 establishing unified pricing: 80 pesos for Mexican nationals (Monday through Saturday) and 165 pesos for foreign visitors.
The move comes 10 days after President Claudia Sheinbaum announced free beach access to Tulum and a 30% reduction in archaeological site entry fees. The decree, which also covers the “Parque del Jaguar” natural protected area, requires all payments to be made in a single combined transaction at Mundo Maya points of sale.
