TULUM

Tulum, a fascinating destination located in the Riviera Maya for about 60 kilometers from Playa del Carmen. Tulum combines the natural beauty of its beaches with a rich historical and cultural heritage surrounded by many natural freshwater formations in caves called cenotes which offers unique opportunities for swim, dive, and explore. The accommodation options in Tulum range from luxurious beachfront resorts to charming boutique and eco-friendly hotels. Many of these accommodations are designed to blend with the natural surroundings, offering a unique experience that combines comfort with a sustainable approach. In addition to the beaches and cenotes, Tulum offers many outdoor activities, such as cycling on nature trails, kayaking in mangroves, and jungle excursions. Its proximity to natural reserves like the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve provides opportunities to explore the region's biodiversity and beauty. One interesting fact about Tulum is that it is one of the few Maya archaeological sites located directly on the coast. The strategic location of the archaeological site on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea not only provided natural defense against invaders but also facilitated maritime trade. The city of Tulum, known as "Zama," was an important trading port that connected maritime commerce with the rest of the Mayan world.
