TULUM

Tulum is an amazing Mayan archaeological site in front of the majestic Caribbean Sea, a privileged and unique place in the world for its beauty, location and cultural value.

The original name of the site was Zamá, which means ‘sunrise’. Tulum, which means ‘enclosure or wall’, was the name given once this Mayan archaeological site was discovered.

This territorial zone is known as the Tulum National Park, declared in 1981 for the richness of its flora and fauna, highlighting the red mangrove, the chechén, the chit palm, as well as the spoon duck, the spider monkey, armadillos, iguanas , squirrels, in addition to sea turtles (white and loggerhead) that nest on the beaches of the park.

It is the only protected natural area in the Cancun-Tulum corridor and is the hydrological region that provides the greatest amount of fresh water to the sea with its enigmatic subterranean rivers and amazing cenotes located in the vicinity of Tulum, such as Cenote Dos Ojos, El Gran Cenote and the Cenote Cristal, among others, which had a sacred character for the Mayans and are linked to Mayan traditions, ceremonies and legends.

It is a tourist destination with warm starry nights that offers a quiet hotel area with a variety of accommodation, bars and restaurants, relaxing spas and a bohemian atmosphere, where many tourists walk or bike.
