Why I Love Tulum

Tulum is overflowing with Mayan history. Mayan ruins tower over the sea. The formerly walled city was one of the last to be built by the Mayans, and its archaeological sites are incredibly well preserved. There is so much to do in Tulum, and we are here to help you pick the best activities out there! Take a break from the beach to visit El Castillo, the Temple of the Frescoes, and the Temple of the Descending God. Explore an underground river under a canopy of stalactites in the sacred caverns of LabnaHa Eco Park, or dive into Cenote Dos Ojos to snorkel inside of caves in the middle of a forest. 

Come and join us as we take you to this Mexican paradise and let’s paint a map of Tulum and take a walk through this vibrant city and get a brief history of its culture. Read on our next article and find out how travel to Tulum in style.
