Tulum · January

Day Zero guide

Day Zero is the party by Damian Lazarus and Crosstown Rebels in the Tulum jungle: it starts at sunset and ends with sunrise. It usually falls in the first half of January, right in high season.

Upcoming dates

What to bring

  • A valid photo ID (your passport if you're visiting) and your ticket downloaded.
  • Insect repellent: it's jungle.
  • Closed shoes; the terrain is uneven.
  • Something light for the early morning.
  • A power bank: it's a long night.

Getting there

Fly into Tulum or Cancún (about two hours by road). The exact location and the official transport are announced close to the date; follow them on social media. As with Zamna, sort out your ride back before you go in.

Where to stay

January is the most expensive week of the year in Tulum. Book early and, if you can, stay at least two nights: arriving the same day and leaving after sunrise is exhausting.

FOMO tips

  • The most anticipated moment is sunrise: save your energy.
  • Drink water from early on.
  • Take a nap beforehand; you won't regret it.
