Two recent trips to Mexico -- one to sun-soaked Tulum and another to the big city of Guadalajara -- exposed contrasting attitudes and approaches to Covid-19.
Tulum's archaeological ruins are a big draw for tourists. So is the whole surrounding coastal area.But I wasn't prepared for just how much travel has boomed until we set off for a family vacation to Tulum in December. We opted to try the Cross-Border Express for the first time. It's a check-in terminal in San Diego on the US side with a pedestrian bridge across the border to Tijuana International Airport.
We had to fill out an online health form for the Mexican government before going through immigration on the Tijuana side of the bridge, but nobody asked to see our vaccination cards at any point during the entire 10-day trip. And no Covid testing was required to get into Mexico. Otherwise, you're not allowed to board your flight. Those who test positive must quarantine in Mexico -- usually at their own expense. Some resorts have baked free or reduced-rate quarantines into their offerings.
While Covid precautions are not strictly followed in the area around Tulum, many of the top attractions, such as cenote Choo-Ha, are exposed to the outdoors.The epilogue to this story is the fact that Covid began to spike in Cancun and Tulum around Christmas -- the day we flew home. Cabo San Lucas, another popular Mexican beach destination -- experienced a similar surge.showing the risk level in each state.
