The price varies due to if you purchase your ticket on Xcaret's official website, as there are always promotions, such as early purchase discount, children up to 4 years old get in free.

Totally. Tulum is just 2 hours away from Cancun by car (78 miles) so you can perfectly get up early and drive to the archaeological site and get back in just one day.
