Welcome to
Tulum
Mexico
Tulum is the Yucatán Peninsula's most iconic destination — a place where ancient Mayan ruins perch dramatically on Caribbean cliffs above turquoise water, and where cenotes (sacred limestone sinkholes filled with crystal-clear groundwater) punctuate a jungle of extraordinary ecological diversity. The site was one of the last cities built and occupied by the Maya, and its coastal location made it a major trading port for jade and turquoise. The town itself has developed from a backpacker hideout into a destination for eco-luxury travel, with thatched-roof beach clubs, yoga retreats, and farm-to-table restaurants that have made it one of the most talked-about places in the Americas.
