What are the safety tips for Tulum festivals like Zamna and Themplo?

When attending the festivals, take only the cash you need, leave your debit card at the hotel, and avoid carrying illegal substances. Be prepared to haggle with taxi drivers and walk away if the price is too high. At Zamna, try to avoid drawing attention to yourself by not fidgeting with your pockets or belongings. Consider organizing a private taxi to and from the festival to avoid on-the-spot taxis.

One money-saving hack is to take a collectivo back to the Centro, then walk along the main road to your destination. Keep your phone close and hide any party favors well, as the guards may search you. If you're a person of color, be prepared for more thorough inspections and stay calm. Once inside, enjoy the music and dancing, but be prepared for the annoyance of getting inside the festival.
