About Tulum
Tulum is a bohemian paradise located on Mexico's Caribbean coastline, about 80 miles south of Cancun. Known for its well-preserved ancient Mayan ruins perched on seaside cliffs, Tulum offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and eco-conscious living. The town has become a hotspot for yoga retreats, wellness centers, and sustainable tourism. Tulum's beaches feature powdery white sand and turquoise waters, while the surrounding area is dotted with cenotes (natural sinkholes) perfect for swimming and diving. The town itself has a relaxed, artistic atmosphere with boutique hotels, organic restaurants, and artisanal shops.
